We haven’t really done that much (paying people). I think the only ones were y’all, ODU and Marshall (like 500k to offset their travel for H&H). Idk the real reasons behind why they did it but it was probably dealing with some of the 2 for 1 we’ve done with P5 teams. We needed the home game but not the away.

Makes sense. Are most of your P5 series uneven or are they mostly h/hs? if not then I guess y'all will have a lot of G5 buy games in the future.

As of right now, our P5 series seem to be uneven, but I think tht's where we've filled in with FCS & G5 games H/H series. I think that's pretty common with most young/G5 schools, & it helps us fill out future away schedules.

I think questions about realignments have kept a lot of schools like ourselves from committing to too many future games, but it is good that we've been able to make things work so far. And who knows maybe this establishes a channel where Texas State & us have a future H/H series, since we've already scheduled an individual game together.

Yes its common for to G5s to have uneven series with P5s but its different with yall because y'all have a lot more of them than most G5s since yall are indy. For instance if a school has one uneven series they make up for it by scheduling an fcs game, but you can only do that once. If a school was to have more uneven p5 games in a short period of years they have to buy another game somehow. Like you did with us. Maybe your schedule isnt all that uneven though and it wont be a common occurance.

That’s what I’m thinking. They are extremely interested in making sure there is at least one quality home game per year. By doing that we pieced together what we could initially. Our schedules are becoming much more balanced past 2024. I think this is mostly do what we need to in the short term.
