Re: Future Schedules

damn. well i bet UW pays close to $1mm

I'd bet we are only getting $450-550,000 Traveling to UW isn't much more (cost wise) than going to Iowa City. It's also way too early for the market to be driving up costs. The $1 payouts come when a school has an open date and no one is willing to play them then.

Re: Future Schedules

camp randall is a great CFB venue, but it only beats kinnick if you really love altercations with drunken fools wearing blaze orange. its like kinnick without security or tact.

I am thinking the atmosphere might be a bit calmer for a game against UNI...

Re: Future Schedules

Didn't remember it being that big of a difference between playing Iowa and ISU. ISU is getting a BARGAIN! 40% less than Iowa pays!

Not really, they seat 20K+ less than Iowa.

Correct.

Wisconsin doesnt pay more than $500-600K

WISC/IOWA has turned down NDSU , this is BULL****... no offense, I am jealous as **** right now!!!

Wrong, and laughing.

I don't think so, there are a lot of Iowa kids that attend UW-madtown.

calmer? maybe a little, but it doesnt matter. badger fans are drunken aggressive idiots 100% of the time.

a big difference is that the women in wisconsin average a good 75 pounds heavier than in iowa, so at any moment you can get sucker punched by a sea donkey holding a wheel of cheese and a leg of lamb.

Have you never been to Iowa City wearing the opposition's colors?

Fixed that for ya....

Correct.

Don't the articles say that we get 450,000? That is not really close to 1 million. But awesome none the less.

Re: Future Schedules

Wisconsin is paying Northern Iowa $450,000, and also agreed to buy out a previously scheduled game between the Panthers and Southern Utah.

Terrible in my opinion. Can't believe they are paying less than Iowa.

Re: Future Schedules

Wisconsin is a whole different thing than Iowa. I have never seen Iowa fans throwing D cell batteries at opposing fans.

This is a great job scheduling. It will be a fun trip, a new experience, exposure in a new and recruitable area, and an easy trip (less than 4 hours) for UNI fans.

Re: Future Schedules

Iowa is paying $500,000 for the 2012 game.
Wisconsin is paying $450,000, plus buying out the return trip to Southern Utah (the back end of what was a home-and-home agreement, with SUU playing in CF this season). Don't know the specifics, but including that buyout amount probably puts the total amount that Wisconsin is paying above the Iowa guarantee money.

Dannen also mentioned that they had had $100,000 budgeted for travel expenses out to Utah. So with Wisconsin buying out that game, that frees up a fair amount of the travel budget (busing to Madison is much cheaper than flying to Utah, and probably doesn't involve hotel expenses)

Re: Future Schedules

People who expect bCS teams to pay over a million for every FCS opponent they bring in really don't understand the economic landscape of college football.

Sure, Dannen could demand $1 million, but my guess is that the BCS school would just laugh and instead buy a game with any of the 100 other FCS teams looking for a money game who will settle for something in the $500K range.

Even if it was slightly less after making those considerations, I'd imagine that TD would take the offer to afford fans the opportunity to travel and for recruiting advantages......
