Name another BCS program that has no media contract for this season.
I think Wash St did a few years back when they played Notre Dame and lost in epic fashion. Can't remember any others.
I'm pretty sure USC won't be making the cross country trip to Syracuse next year. It probably won't be a popular opinion, but I agree with CVille on this one.

Weirdest part about that was that game was played in San Antonio.
Best reasoning I can pull from that happening was Catholicism = ND $$$ and their desire to do a game in Texas for recruiting purporses. Primarily #2.
Oregon State at Penn State in 2008 and lost
No.Anyone know how much we typically make off of a home game?
The logic is that we both had an open date, we needed $$$ to subsidize our Big XII losses, and tofu was willing to pay us more than the going rate to play in the Shoe. There, most likely, is no room in either's schedule for a return game.Just trying to figure out Bohn's logic in taking a payout rather then a return trip.
No.

That is a valid point. I just don't know how much profit is generated from a "typical" home game in Boulder.I undertsand it's about the money my point was if a typical home game nets us as much or close to the $1.4 million that OSU is paying us for this game then why take a payout for a (likely) loss.
There is more to scheduling than just saying "let's play". Are our open dates on the same weekend? How many home/road games do we have in those seasons? Who do we play before/after? And, would tofu even agree to a return game? Maybe, maybe not, but if they did, the payout for this year would probably have been less.We could have gotten a return trip (both teams have openings in 2013 and 2015) or just scheduled a game against a different school at Folsom.
This is where we choose to disagree. Any person who would donate money to a 7-6 team, but not to a 6-7 team with a loss at tofu is not really the type of "fan" you want anyway. A loss at tofu is not going to be the determining factor in CU getting to a bowl game. What if we beat tofu, but don't end up with 7 wins anyway. We lost to Hawaii - should we not schedule them in the future? Agreed, the schedule this year is brutal - but it is a one-time unusual situation due to the move to the Pac-12.Even if the OSU game is significantly more profitable im not sure it was smart choice becuase of the ramifications of on our record which then effects recruting, donations, future ticket sales, etc. What if we miss a bowl game by one game?
