UT is paying them 1.2 mil. That's probably a sizeable chunk of their annual football budget.

Yep, but after UAB writes a buyout check for $925K it will be less than a $300K outlay. |

That sounds like a good deal. What's the purpose of playing in Nashville? Recruiting? |

Yes, and supposedly to reduce by one game the taxes that the city of Knox is collecting off of the tickets. |

More info on the money: S.C. State backed out of a game against BG. No word on whether they had to pay. As Herb said, UT gets $975,000 from UAB (I thought they were out of money). BG gets 1.2 million from UT. And then there's the kicker: Per the previous agreement with the Music City Bowl to play the game in Nashville, the Music City Bowl is guaranteed $400,000 from the game. Tennessee gets the first $2 million in gate receipts, plus 80 percent of the revenue above $2 million with the Music City Bowl getting the other 20 percent. Tennessee is entitled to all revenue from program sales, parking and concessions.
http://www.knoxnews.com/govolsxtra/football/ut-bowling-green-will-meet-in-2015-season-opener_51711756And as Pirate said: No Knoxville taxes. Money makes the world go 'round. Especially the college football world. |

Especially the college football world. I assume gate rcpts alone are going to be at least 5-6 mil? I guess it's kinda cool that the Music City Bowl association is involved. Wasn't there some speculation that this game might be moved to a Sun? |

I had forgotten we open against UAB next year. So I wonder what the rule is with their players? They should be able to transfer without sitting out a year IMO. In which case, do they have a decent OL or two we can grab? |

UAB has a LT that has 22 starts and is a Soph.....By all accounts the kid is a player and will be picked up pretty quickly.
