Message: [QUOTE="Slasher, post: 3213298, member: 4452"] This comment is just absurd, I'm sorry. You expect as an independent to get >$1M per home game? Especially when you consider that at least one of them is very likely to be against an FCS team? The reason a conference can extract more than an independent (Notre Dame and BYU not withstanding) is because for conference games they get the game regardless of where it's played. You only have rights to your home games. If you look at the likely schedule for UConn at home, it's maybe 2 quality games, an FCS game, and probably a MAC level game or two. No one is paying an average of $1.2M for those games. BYU gets around $1M per home game, but they have a national following in football and puts together a pretty darn good schedule. [/QUOTE]
