Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5029985, member: 12253"] the ohio state cancellation thread got me thinking - Does anyone know how "body-bag" games work? [LIST] [*]if we indeed improve skillwise as an independent and start beating the lower-tier P4 teams as everyone dreams of (duke/maryland/indiana,etc.), will we even be able to schedule a michigan/OSU-level opponent? [*]even if we could schedule a michigan/OSU/tennessee, would they be willing to pay us $2M if we're a threat? I assume that the cash goes up the [U]worse [/U]our team is, and vice versa (uconn good, cash offer down) --- Why pay someone who is good and is a threat to your season/CFP hopes? [*]if we get as good we hope to be, will we start getting P4 contract cancellations? I suspect those teams would rather buy out the contract and ensure they don't lose to us, and then give the difference to a low-level G5 or FCS school, just like OSU just did. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
