kreed5120 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 It seems odd to me that they're requesting a future match up. Do they have issues attracting G5 programs to Lincoln or something? Quote

Something like "we will pay you the full amount, but you have to agree to play another game." Who can understand the mind of a Fusker? Quote

Have the Fuskers paid 50%? Or was that the initial anticipated settlement? Sounds to me like nothing was going to be paid anyway until March 2019. From the looks of it, nothing has been paid . . . and won't be paid unless you agree to a return game . . . which may mean that you eat the expenses of the cancelled game. Darn Fuskers. Quote
Zipmeister Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 I heard they are only paying 30%, but the Zips must return to serve as ushers for one of the Huskers OOC games. Quote

So between SC, NW, and NE, U of A athletics made about $2.1mill this year. I'm sure that made the buy out an easier pill to swallow for the University (whether you agree with Arth hire or dont) (see correct math below) Edited December 16, 2018 by NWAkron Quote

Or is the $650k for this year and 2025? The latter sounds more like Fusker negotiating logic. If you got $650k this year for the cancelled game and full price for another game in 2025, then your AD came through for you. Interesting that Nebraska hasn't announced anything about it that I can find. Quote

That is much better than I was expecting, especially given the early reports that seemed like they were going to stiff you. Quote
