Cougars getting 1 million bucks

I'm all for it and glad they did it. It's a great opportunity for a season opener. It's a solid test.

Don't know exactly, but I thought the payout for a few cupcakes in the past have been steep at times?

 
doesn't make any sense when we rejected Boise St a few years ago after they wanted $1m too.. but who knows?

When Nebraska tried to schedule Boise Nebraska tried offering a home/home a 2 for 1 and a one and done option

.. Boise wanted a MINIMUM of $1M to play.

Meaning they wanted at least $1M to play a home/home or 2 for 1.. they wanted more than $1M for a one and done.

IIRC they wanted part of the gate revenue bu I can't confirm.

 
We wont have to deal with Tasum Hill their Qb. Also how does disciplinary actions work for the ones who were fighting at the end of the bowl game. Would they have to miss 1 game coming up or is it just a ehh seasons over nothing happens.

 
I personally would much rather play quality opponents than cup cakes that everyone knows we are going to beat. If it takes $1,000,000 to get it done...so be it.

 
Nebraska and the Big Ten Conference have all the television broadcast rights to the game

I wonder if NU gets any compensation from the B1G for the BTN's right to broadcast the game? It would be worthwhile, from a publicity standpoint, if NU just signed over the rights to BTN for free. But I'm still curious as to whether any money changes hands. Hard to say what it's worth. I'd guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $100k or so (WAG on my part).

The conference collects the broadcast revenue from all the teams and then devides it equally among the schools. (less the buyin for NU, RU and MD.)

Last year NU got just over $14.3M in broadcast revenue.

I wonder why our cost to include the TV rights in our BYU contract isn't defrayed as well. For example, I'll bet we could've gotten a better deal with BYU if we gave them the TV rights. Let's say we could've gotten the BYU home game for $900k, sans TV rights--that is, giving BYU the TV rights. (So for this hypothetical the TV rights are cost us $100k to obtain. $1million with TV vs $900k without TV.) Then why isn't the $100k contractual value of our TV rights added back to our B1G broadcast revenue as a cost of doing business? Including the TV rights in the contract is a cost to us just the same as travel expenses for a bowl game. (I believe our bowl game travel expenses are paid out of the broadcast revenue for that bowl before the revenue is divided among B1G members). Just sayin..

 
I don't care how much they pay BYU as long as the Huskers win. It's been a long time since we lost a home opener and I don't want to kick off the Riley era like that.

I think we'll win, but good lord would a loss be a devastating start to the Riley era.

That's not how this works. There's no negotiation or dollar value on rights in individual game contracts between the two teams. The hosting team always gets broadcast rights. That is the whole reason conerences like the Big Ten get so much revenue from the television network contracts. They are included in the contracts only as a legal formality.

Which is why our game at wyoming a few years ago was on versus and the Fresno game last year was on cbssports.
