does that include the buyout?
Hopefully the buyout is $1 million.

I bet it's $300k or less...

We will end up getting FCS money for the two games

Our FMV is only $1.1-million? Weak.

I think our money games could get higher payouts if we weren’t a threat to get paid to beat someone on their home field. I know we aren’t a huge threat, but more so than ULLLLL and ULLLLLM.

You payouts are based on the one doing the negotiating...

1.1 million isn't too bad if it is attached to a home and home. If we took 1.1 million for just a road game I wouldn't like it.

The key missing piece of information is what the buyout is for the final home game. If that buyout is too low this is a bad deal.

I disagree - the $1.1 million is the bottom floor we should be getting for a ONE-OFF guarantee game, the fact that it is tied to a home and home is what makes it a bad deal in my book...

NCSt made bank on us for two guarantee games, basically FCS money....

It is a money game and our AD accepted what the bar was 5 years ago. The buyout amount for the Ruston game has nothing to do with how little they are paying us to play the money game.

[The Historian]

We will make $1.1 million from the 2021 game and then play a home and home where no cash changes hands and the first game is on the road. That's the problem.

If the buyout is as little as $300,000 then NC State can buy out the road game in Ruston after playing Tech at home twice. They would be getting two guarantee home games for $700,000 each. Keep in mind we got $700,000 from Tennessee in 2004.

And I can promise you that if NC State loses either of the two home games they're not coming to Ruston.

As it reads, its is a $1.1 million money game and a home-home deal. If they back out of our home game, the buyout would basically be the second game's payment.

its $300,000?

[The Historian]

The buyout would be whatever is specified in the contract.

[PawDawg]

As it reads, its is a $1.1 million money game and a home-home deal. If they back out of our home game, the buyout would basically be the second game's payment.

That's 1.1 plus the buyout. Anything under 1.1M for the buyout is a horrible deal.

[The Historian]

its $300,000?

We don't know the number yet, but I would be surprised if NC State entered into the deal with a number much bigger than that. Even if it's 500,000 they would be getting two games with Tech for $1.6 million or $800,000 per game.

And as I said, if they lose either of the first two games they're not coming to Ruston.

[PawDawg]

... $800,000 per game.

And as I said, if they lose either of the first two games they're not coming to Ruston.

...and $800K will be about 1/2 the going rate of what we should receive from a P5 in 2021.
