They make millions per year each just from tv, let alone tickets and merchandise. $500K is chump change to no one anywhere. IU is not Ohio State or Michigan. This was quite the mistake on their part financially speaking. Sure they get another home game in 2015, but they signed on for an FIU road game in 2016. They're due to make $25 mil off TV rights next year, and the Big Ten TV deal opens up next year. They'll be okay...

I am seeing a trend here. Is this the "softening" of their schedule? I think so..... Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully, totally different animal. Baylor had us play on the road, then only canceled the game in Tampa. Baylor was similar to Utah and FIU which canceled the last game of a contract after we upheld our end of the deal. For what it is worth, we did the same thing to Utah State and I think Illinois State. Indiana dropping the whole series is not a big deal, and with the awesome contract we got a great payday.
