North Texas and UMass...what do they pay in comparison to say Kansas? Maybe 500K total?

Re: URI football to play at UMass in 2021
Rambone-probably,vs.$900K from VA Tech and Ohio.
But,would rather get 2 games for $500K vs. teams can compete against then playing Syracuse or BC (either for one game) for same amount and getting beat 50-0.
Aren't a lot of FBS conferences eliminating FCS games anyways? Take the $$ and run. Need new entrance and east stands.
Like the variety also. can sell it to recruits.

Plus a lot less travel expense to go to UMass....bus instead of flying is huge, along with no hotels.....does make up for some of the difference in revenue.

So if Virginia Tech pays URI $700k does VaTech also pay for our travel on top of that?

Re: URI football to play at UMass in 2021
Does UMass still play games at Gillette? I would love to see that game there!

Re: URI football to play at UMass in 2021
I don't believe they do or they are very few and far between. The contract says it will be at McGuirk in Amherst either way. It seems we had our chance a couple of years ago and backed out of that game to play Central Michigan I believe

Re: URI football to play at UMass in 2021
According to fbsschedules.com this is no longer accurate. North Texas is out and the Brown game has moved to 9/18. That seems odd, I can't recall playing Brown that early before, it's pretty much always the first Saturday in October. North Texas is now scheduled to play Northwestern State on that dateRhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑5 years ago

The UMass game has been changed to November 6th. So the 2021 schedule now looks like:
9/11 Bryant
9/18 at Brown
11/6 at UMass

Re: URI football to play at UMass in 2021
I would take a buy game with UMass or UConn every year.
