I can think of two for NDSU:

1. Home game against Maine that was the weekend after 9/11
2. Home game against Nebraska-Omaha that the 1991 Halloween Blizzard put the kibosh on (the visiting team couldn't get to Fargo.) It would have been pretty brutal... the high on game day was 16 and the average windspeed was 30mph (gusting to 45*.)

For Harvard: Holy Cross game, in response to 9/11 events also. We never cancel any other games.

Truly cancelled: 2001 West Chester, due to 9/11. Last year's Del State was moved a day due to lightning.

AKA the phantom hurricane, at least in eastern Pennsylvania.

9/15/01 game vs. Princeton.

A 1995 game vs. Fordham, when a Fordham player died from a medical condition during warm-ups.

A December 1926 game vs. Alabama in Philadelphia.

Holy Cross once cancelled its 1969 season over a hepatitis outbreak.

2003 against Maine - Hurricane Isabel shut down the campus for a while so W&M cancelled the game. The A-10 awarded Maine with a victory and W&M with a no contest.

Not the whole season, though. They played Harvard and Dartmouth before realizing the extent of the outbreak.

I hope it was a Hep A outbreak otherwise I'm curious what was going on in the locker room.

CCSU cancelled its game vs. Albany scheduled the weekend after the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

In 2012, the CCSU game at Monmouth was cancelled due to Super Storm Sandy. That was MU's last season in the NEC - the 2 teams have not played since the 2011 game in New Britain.

It was the 60s, man.
