GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado — Colorado Mesa University is suing over a canceled charter flight for its football team.
The Daily Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/11bvDd0)
the school says it paid Iowa-based STM Charters Inc. $75,000 to fly the
team to Arcadia, California, for a game Aug. 30 against Humboldt State.
The university says STM's president said the flight was confirmed,
provided the company was paid by Aug. 24.
The university says it signed a
contract Aug. 20 and made a payment the next day, but it was told Aug.
22 that the flight was no longer available.
The team made other travel arrangements for $93,000. It is seeking damages of $18,000.
STM denies receiving a signed contract and says the university's losses were caused by events outside its control.
A trial is set for Aug. 27.
