How is the pay rate determined for these paycheck games?

Kent State football reaps huge paydays for non-conference games

Three of Kent State's non-conference games will net the athletic department more than $4 million.

Not sure how they determine the amount but they will receive $1.35M for our game.

Akron played tOSU and received $600K.

Nick Saban graduated from Kent State.

But that's been uuuhhhh ... wait for it .... Little while.

 

[WillisWG]

maybe we do like a JV game and keep our starters healthy.

Sure tell that to all those season ticket holders...come on up by the way we're not playing our starters.

 

[WillisWG]

I disagree. They should play small schools and help them any way they can. It helps both sides tbh. Money for them and practice reps for depth for the big school.

Let them get practice reps in practice, it would at least be against quality competition. I see no value playing a #133 team, none.

 

[Special Ed]

I've rooted for Kent State teams since the massacre of 1970, but I'll have to put that on hold till after this game.

They have e black squirrels running around the campus. Cool lookin little things

Seeing as how athletic directors do see value, I'd say you're wrong.

I am entitled to my own opinion as you are your and the AD is his and if we all aren't in agreement then too frigging bad.

Their last winning season was 2019 when they went 7-6 , that was their 2nd winning season in the last 20 years. They are 324-549-20 overall. Shouldn't be on our schedule or any SEC teams schedule every again.

But Chattanooga should?

 

[WillisWG]

But Chattanooga should?

Nope, not for playing FCS teams either, just don't see any value in playing them

 

[chuck0303]

Don't feel bad. When Younger Son&Heir noted KSU's nickname is the Golden Flashes, before I could stop my mouth. I said, "Does that refer to the muzzle flashes of M-1s?"

Yeah, I'm going to hell, I know.

You surely are.

Name the score game. College football needs to move on from these especially as the talent gap widens.

We pay a lot of money to beat them up, plus it’s the only time many of those kids will get to shine on a national stage.

 

[DaddyChad]

I mean for 1.3 million I’m fairly sure I can put together an allstar team of VN’s finest to go take an ass whipping.

 

[TVOLS]

The game is very important before playing Oklahoma.

Yeah, I get it. Maybe play it up as a look at the future, or for once drop the heck out of those particular tickets and encourage ticket give aways to people who normally would not be able to afford to come to a game. I will go back to smoking my pipe now

or have a student admission only game, that would be cheap. You mentioned JV early, I kinda miss those days

 

[sonofUT62]

There will be another Kent state massacre this weekend. Sorry I had to

Ten soldiers and Nicos coming............

 

[NighthawkVol]

I couldn’t think of anything either. Can we just fast forward to the Oklahoma game?

Jack Lambert. Nick Saban. Tragic shooting. Neil Young song.

That's all I got.

I’ve been a huge Steeler fan since the late 50’s. Loved the Steel Curtain. Jack Lambert was a scary man.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Aren't they called the Golden Showers or something like that?

 

[first time caller]

Vols should stretch their streak to 16 consecutive quarters without an offensive touchdown.

 

[BigALWiLson]

The same season ticket holders who are selling a pair for this game to the tune of 300? Or Florida at 600 when value is what 85 each. Cmon. It's a tune up game although they could have found another UTC
