Today the Office of Commissioner of Football announced the suspension of the schedule for the Cass Country  Renegades for the remainder of the 2007 campaign.

The Renegades failed to honor their road game commitment to the Superior Stampede, after only 9 players showed up to travel for the game. The failure initiates the NAFL's automatic Sudden Death punishment.
