Interesting that Stanford is paying Davis $650k for the game.  I have a vague memory that a core reason why the SJSU vs. Stanford series stopped was because Stanford would pay just $250k for subsequent SJSU games (after the 2013 game, for which Stanford paid just $215k).  Wilner said Stanford was irked because SJSU cancelled their 2010 game for the million dollar payday at Alabama, which SJSU deparately needed to keep their program afloat.
