I vaguely recall that SJSU asked for a guarantee that was out of the question.

My memory is that SJSU demanded either that the series be turned into alternating home and home or a payout on the scale of what the SEC teams play.

I see that this year SJSU's OOC games were: home vs USF, home vs ןɐɔ Poly, @ Texas, and @ Utah.
Texas probably gave them a big payout. Doubt Utah could afford as much.

Most likely somebody like Terry could chime in with a more exact memory of how the series ended.

Here's Wilner's take on it.  Seems Stanford was miffed when SJSU went for the million dollar payday at Alabama a few years back when SJSU needed it to survive.  Also, Stanford's guarantee to SJSU is $215,000, when it should be closer to $500k to $600k.
