Here’s a graf that jumped out at me:
“The game will also serve as a lucrative payday for only one team. Because this game was originally supposed to be played on K-State’s campus, Stanford will only receive enough money to cover travel costs as agreed upon in the original home-and-home series contract.”
Maybe KState should get more of the payout because it was a Kstate game, but it surprises me and doesn’t seem right that they’d get the ENTIRE payout.
Playing a home and home means a home and home. It shouldn’t mean the home team can sell the rights to play you wherever and however they see fit, for the biggest payout.
