How much are P4 schools willing to pay for one tune up game a year that almost guarantees a win? $5 million is a lot to Akron, but considering TV money it's a drop in the bucket for P5 schools. I would bet schools like Alabama and OSU could get a sponsor to pay the $5 million. What they can afford is irrelevant to the conversation. Why pay Akron $5 million when they can just pay Youngstown State $500k? They can still get that $5 million sponsorship you speak of, but instead pocket the $4.5 million difference. Perhaps use it to sign a heisman contending QB. Quote

But then again, I did see the Surviving Ohio State documentary. There seems to be no limit to their shamelessness. Quote
