The Fuskers are racist AF. They were supposed to pay Akron $1.15 mil and are only going to pay BCU, a historically black university, $800,000 or 3/5ths of $1.15 mil. That’s ****ed up.
It's called market price. BCU is an FCS school with a tight athletic budget. They are willing to play for $800k that's what kNU pays. Akron is a BCS level school. Nebraska had to offer them more to come in.
Doesn't have anything to do with historically black. If Northern Colorado had that weekend free they probably would have been approached and as an FCS school the price would have been close to the same as BCU got.
And I'm going to bet that in the end Akron gets all or most of their $1.15 million. Supposedly the contract was payable as of kickoff and the ball was kicked off prior to cancellation.
