Home Opener against South Carolina State

[Houston Techsan]

TMac, listen to me. I will not drive 350 miles to watch a game against some two bit FCS team that I have never heard of. I might watch it on TV but with our lousy contracts I doubt that it will be available. If we didn't even play that game we would be a couple of hundred thousand richer and that's assuming someone will attend. You're going to have to sell about 10,000 tickets just to pay these nobodies and then you have to sell more to cover the cost of actually putting on the game.

I think Maverick is a woman.

Just when we thought it couldn't get worse than BVDV!!!!

[HogDawg]

I still can't fathom why the AD chose a HBCU not from the regional SWAC, but the EAST COAST! Give the guy a map!

FIRE BVD!!!!..........oh wait..............

I'm not buying that this game cost us "$325K for a scrimmage to open 2016 and our only OOC home game".

One of the admins gofers has already posted on this site confirming the embarrassing amount our AD agreed to. He justified it by saying we were getting enough money from the Arkansas game the week prior (a BVDV deal) to offset the bad deal made by our currentl AD.

Can't make this crap up.

Post #18

This game will be a financial loss but the previous week matchup against Arkansas will more than cover it leaving a healthy overall gain. Need to look at the overall picture.

BVDV scheduled Arkansas to be played in Little Rock.

McClelland moved the game from Little Rock to Fayetteville without explanation.

[Dawg06]

Also got a 2 for 1 with Baylor with the first game being in Waco. THAT took some doing. Wonder how much Baylor will have to pay to buy out game 2.

The front end of McClelland's Baylor deal in 2020 is a guarantee for only $500K... Anybody want to guess what the going rate for FBS guarantees will be in 2020?

What's your spin?

[TYLERTECHSAS]

What's your spin?

I'll just have to see the number from a reliable source vs. word of mouth from a "gopher".
As far as the game? Everyone likes to see the new QB, RB, offense and new defensive players and schemes at the beginning of the year. And everyone looks forward to the first tailgate, seeing friends and a victory! It will be an exciting day and we will be just fine attendance wise unless we have another year of gameday downpour threats.

But I still wish we were playing somebody in our region.

The link from a Times newspaper article was provided with the number.

What the administration is not saying is telling.

Even Isabella tweeted something to the effect.

They are waiting to the last minute to schedule these games. That's why you are left with a HBCU from a different geographic location at a premium price.

Wonder how many of their fans will come ??

Is DG still on his honeymoon and isolated from these decisions reflecting on him actually "getting it"?
