no doubt, we're already weighing heavily on their minds !!

Probably a long line of FCs teams tripping over themselves that are willing to be paid this amount. If ISU were FBS they would likely get significantly more. At some point it is a worst financial proposition to be playing high expense FCS with little or no revenue than playing g5 fbs with some revenue opportunities. This game more interesting than playing some garbage d2’game at home, IMO.TheTruth said:$ 625K is not a lot of scratch to be getting for a game like this, then again Larry is completely out of his element when it comes to this kind of stuff. They have got to get rid of this guy!

You don't think there is a P5 school that would do that???
And I love this game, if we keep it remotely close its a win win for the program.. plus the payout is a positive, NIU keeps their athletic department afloat with these types of games, over $3M this year..
You don't think we have offered a 2:1 time and time again to P5's??? Again, if you can make it happen, lead the way.

Yeah, I get that. Spack said it would help recruiting, too. Sometimes the Redbird Nation surprises me with how well it travels.Chi-bird said:We are going to go into Norman Oklahoma and get our butts kicked and it will be an awesome experience. Love this game! We are going into one of the top programs in the history of college football team that is routinely in the top five in FBS. We are going to a place that beats everyone who comes in there, regardless of level. We will not win this game and it will probably not be very close but it will be as good of an experience for the program and its fans as I can imagine.

Truth ... I honestly don't know, but can you name any previous FBS games where we got more ?? Granted, most of our prior FBS games were cheaper bus rides. Colorado St certainly was a flight .. what did they pay ? Iowa is big time program .. that was bus ride, but what did they pay ?
Uh, I actually didn't try to make any point .. other than to profess my ignorance .. I asked you a question.TheTruth said:fourthandshort said:TheTruth said:$ 625K is not a lot of scratch to be getting for a game like this, then again Larry is completely out of his element when it comes to this kind of stuff.

You make a good point..... Larry repeatedly leaves money on the table. It's getting harder and harder to defend keeping him around.
