It pays to be a punching bag

But how many DI-AA schools know that every home game is going to get them 300k regardless of who they play?

Montana is the only one I can think of.

The Bison game in Minneapolis is cheap when looking at expenses......a charter bus rather than the usual Northwest jet....one night in a hotel.....and a check from the U of M (likely a loss and hopefully no injuries).

The Ball State game is a totally different deal. Not a huge payday, but a good shot at a DI-A win.
