Portland State, South Dakota Cancel FCS Game Due to Whooping Cough Outbreak
Scheduled to play each other Saturday, Portland State and South Dakota have called off their game due to unusual, unfortunate circumstances.
The Vikings and Coyotes cancelled their contest due to a whooping cough outbreak in the Portland State program, the Oregon university announced Saturday.
“A case of pertussis (whooping cough) got into the Viking team two days ago. Pertussis is a highly contagious disease that affects the lungs. As a result, many team members have been exposed to the disease,” the Vikings said in a statement. “It was determined by Portland State that the game would not be played in the interest of the health of the student-athletes.”
Pertussis—vaccine-preventable and relatively uncommon in the industrialized world—generally begins with symptoms similar to the common cold, before escalating into a lengthy period of violent coughing.
Portland State said in its statement that none of its players “are seriously ill at this time.” The Vikings are scheduled to play Boise State on Sept. 21; the Broncos indicated in a statement that they are monitoring the situation.

The 2026 South Dakota legislative session is still a week away but we’re already seeing dozens of bills being introduced.
The Legislative Research Council’s website shows more than 60 bills already on tap as of Tuesday.
But many more are on the way. In recent years, the Legislature has seen on average around 500 bills per session. Generally, a little under half end up being signed into law.
Some of the early bills include an act allowing for the removal of a county commissioner and another creating a tax exemption for data centers.
Attorney General Marty Jackley is also introducing a host of bills including one allowing law enforcement to seize cryptocurrency that’s part of a criminal investigation.
“Cryptocurrency has become a haven for scammers, drug traffickers, and human traffickers, costing South Dakotans millions in losses and fueling online crime,” said Jackley. “This legislation adds ‘digital currency’ to South Dakota’s seizure laws, giving law enforcement the tools to confiscate illicit crypto assets and disrupt criminal networks hiding behind digital secrecy.”
A full list of bills and resolutions is available on the LRC’s website.
The 2026 session begins Jan. 13.
