Troy Dannen gives his thoughts on the future of the century-plus rivalry between UW and WSU.
All indications publicly are both sides would like the game to continue, but financial realities appear destined to threaten its existence.SEATTLE — Few sports traditions in Washington state have been around as long as the Apple Cup rivalry between the University of Washington and Washington State University.
Dannen went on to say that part of ensuring UW can compete financially with the rest of its new conference is by having seven home games a season . Given that Washington State was not offered a bid to the Big Ten, UW wouldn't be able to play a road game in Pullman as it has every other year for almost a century. WSU understandably likely would not agree to only playing road games at Husky Stadium in order to continue the rivalry, putting its future at risk.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said in August when news of UW's departure from the Pac-12 broke that it was his"understanding and expectation that the University of Washington remains committed to permanently continuing the Apple Cup with Washington State University, one of our state’s greatest traditions and a prime example of how regional rivalries make college sports so special.”
