They had to add a 12th game right?
I don’t think teams are required to have a 12th game by NCAA rules, but they always will opt for that as it’s mathematically easier to get to 6 wins, and thus bowl eligibility, with 12 games than 11.They had to add a 12th game right?
I don't want to know our record against Bowling Green, though I remember the outcome of two games.Smart move to avoid Bowling Green. #neverforget
You think? They typically pack in 90,000 for a home game. Assume a weighted average ticket price of $50 (pulling it out of my arse, but maybe conservative), and that is $4.5M in gate revenue. Maybe add $1M for concessions (not sure if they sell beer). There are plenty of shekels to be had on a fall Saturday in Lincoln.Also bringing in the 12th game revenue. Nebraska has a huge draw and even if they have to pay 1.5 million to bring a team in they will still make money. I'd be curious to see how much a team actually profits off of a home game, and correlate profit with the quality of opponent coming to town. What does the home team of a Michigan-Michigan State game bring in compared to Nebraska and Troy, for example?
Then again maybe not.Nebraska must have been looking ahead to Bethune-Cookman today.
