Why do we seem to command smaller buyouts than our MAC brethren? What kind of money are we getting from Pitt in lieu of a return game? Seems like we never approach such numbers.

I'm not surprised either of them can pay that much or more, it just seems that we are consistently getting numbers that are less than our peers. Are we not good at negotiating these things?

Even things like do you bring your own officials can be a mid-five figure swing.

Versus maybe not getting as big of a check but not having as many bills to pay too?

I think that's why Purdue is at the Convo next season. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Minnesota, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Kansas, Pitt, Virginia Tech, UVa ... none of those teams came to the Convo for a hoops game in the last 20 years. It would be nice if it was more "often" Back to Top OUcats82 General User Member Since: 1/9/2005 Location: Cincinnati, OH Post Count: 1,861 Status: Offline     RE: NIU Buyout games...    Posted: 6/7/2019 2:39:49 PM  bshot44 wrote: Pataskala wrote: Don't we often get home b-ball games instead of more money?

Yes ... you are right. But I don't think that was part of the deal where Ohio would play UVa in football 16 years later in 2018.
