BigSkyBears said:UNC's payout is $400,000 to play at CU. There's hardly any travel costs as it's an hour long bus ride and then of course the hotel. McCaffrey era begins Sept, 4th at CU. Stay tuned for the upset!!!

San Jose State, Fresno State and San Diego State could keep the money in CA each year ?

If they dip down to FCS, that’s a good question. A lot don’t. One of the PAC 12 teams didn’t schedule FCS schools at all until recently. I’m thinking it was UW. Lots will schedule Mountain West schools.
The WSU vs. EWU games in Seattle seemed to be quite popular. I do recall a BSC school almost upsetting Cal a couple of years back, Weber, maybe?
NAU used to take a yearly beating with either UA or ASU.

I think it was PSU, crazy as it sounds. 2013. Cal won 37 to 30. PSU was leading in the 3rd. No garbage time scoring.
If I did this right, it looks like every BSC team plays up this year. Has that ever happened?Montana at Washington: $675,000
Idaho at Oregon State: $675,000
Weber State at Utah: $600,000
Portland State at Washington State: $525,000
Southern Utah at Arizona State: $500,000
Southern Utah at San Jose State: $425,000
Montana State at Wyoming: $425,000
UC Davis at Tulsa: $400,000
Cal Poly at Fresno State: $390,000
Idaho State at Nevada: $350,000
Eastern Washington at UNLV: $350,000
Portland State at Hawaii: $200,000
Actually, I believe USC backed out because they wanted to hold that prestige of being 1 of only 3 FBS teams to not play an FCS team. Seems pretty selfish if you ask me.Cowboys84 said:UCLA, USC and Notre Dame I believe are the only 3 fbs teams never to play a 1-aa/fcs team
USC was scheduled to play a fcs team in 2021 but the game got cancelled.
Ursa Major said:The one thing I don’t get is why aren’t UW and WSU offering to play EWU on an annual or semiannual basis? They’re a fellow state institution and they are hurting for money, keep the money in the family.

The same reason UW doesn't regularly schedule UM. Little to gain with a win and lots to lose with a loss.

Mikey—that sounds more like how WSU might think rather than UW.
Question: So as a state taxpayer, if Montana scheduled an NAIA game every third year, would you want that big payoff to benefit MT-Western or Southern Oregon?
