Someone said something along these lines in another thread:

Dear Auburn,

Thanks for funding our coming out party.

Love, USF

Well put LDB

I missed the game because I am in France but I am proud of my Bulls.  I hope wehn I return that it is on again so I can watch it.

650 large, to be exact. I wish they had brought that up on the broadcast - this has to be one of the biggest payday game backfires ever.

Auburn paid USF $650,000 to come play at Jordan-Hare??

Yup, that is correct. I think when they scheduled this game, they thought they were scheduling FAU or FIU or something. This game was scheduled prior to 2004. They had no idea we'd be this good. We walked into their house and punched them right in the mouth and took their money.

The Bulls received $650,000 to play at Auburn, a game scheduled before Woolard came to USF.

That sucks for Auburn, lost on the scoreboard and in the checkbook.

Don't fool yourselves, AU makes much more than $650,000 per home game.  If they could play 12 homes games per year and only have to pay out $650,000 per game to the visiting team they would be the richest athletic department in the country.

Victory is sweet though.
