Ole Miss is the third of three FBS games Presbyterian scheduled this season. Northern Illinois and North Carolina State already beat the Blue Hose by a combined 97-3, but the combined paychecks from all three of those games (Ole Miss is paying the school $400,000) allowed athletics director Brian Reese to install lights at Bailey Memorial Stadium.
I guess we didn’t anticipate losing to FCS squads this year. I would have been 100% ok with playing some FBS schools (and getting pummeled) this year and last to let our guys see what the competition is REALLY like- and to also have the extra money to pay for freaking lights last offseason. Good move by Presby.
Anyone know how much KY is paying us to pad their record?
[quote=“4ever niner, post:3, topic:29116”]Anyone know how much KY is paying us to pad their record?[/quote]I don’t know, but a minimum of $750,000 I’d say. You don’t really make less than that as an FBS team.
Probably a million though.

i just might have a problem with this. there’s something not-quite-right abt having guys getting the s**t kicked out of them for four 15 minute quarters so some suit in the AD can crow abt installing lights or whatever!
it happens all the time. i know.
