UF Contract??

[Jamie]

If that ever happened I'm sure it wouldn't be them trying to big-time the Gators (a tremendously stupid move). It would be so that they wouldn't completely give away their home field advantage. Every UF alum and mouth-breathing ESS EEE CEE redneck in Tampa would show up to that game. Not to mention the USF students who would forget what school they attend and root for the Gators.

... I think the only "guarantee" game Woolard has signed in six years as AD was the Notre Dame game next year -- all the rest have some kind of return game in exchange. (Auburn and Penn State, if I remember right, were pre-Woolard as well.)

...

I think you are spot on Greg. And I think the reason of nearly $1,000,000 is fine enough for me to take this 1 and done. And it will be a Nat'l TV game.

And Thanx again Greg!

IS it $1,000,000?  IF so I take back my criticism.  I thought it was ~$500k (what Greg is reporting).

How many did Auburn give us... based on pure assumption I would say the SEC teams have some kind of a OCO ticket allotment rule.

I think that is with the assumption that UF buys out the 2nd game.

Was the original contract for a home and home and UF just already bought out our home game?

The original contract was for games in Gainesville in 07 and 08. Signed in 02 or 03 before the Big East announcement

[E.T.]

The nearly $1,000,000 I am referring to is with Notre Dame.

Payout & TV revenue will be reportedly about $ 985K
