The WESTERN Athletic Office in Western Hall is selling tickets for the game at Arkansas.
We are hearing that no tickets are being sold at Arkansas because the game is "sold out".
So if you guys are planning on attending this game, you will need to get your tickets through WESTERN.
That way, you will be sitting in the WESTERN section at the game which will include the Marching Leathernecks!! The WESTERN band will be there to play for this game.
Also, the WESTERN Alumni Association will be serving a pre-game meal. Usually the Band stops by and performs there before the game (similar to what they did at the Illinois game last year).[/quote]
I enjoyed this post the first 304 times that it has appeared on this board. Is this the WIU athletic department's screen name? I feel like I am watching an infomercial when I read this.

| Anybody know what kind of money Western is getting for this game? What do the BCS schools typically pay $500,000 - 800,000 I'm thinkin.

| We received $400,000 for LSU and $350,000 from Nebraska. Figures the Fuskers would be cheap asses! Not sure what the Illini paid last year. Iowa State has given UNI $250,000 to come to Ames but they don't have much expense either. Most D-1AA (or whatever they call it now) AD's and Head Coaches have resigned themselves they have to have one "guarantee" game a year to help the budget. UNI goes to BYU this year. I think they are getting somewhere around $250,000 to $300,000.

I'm glad we do these BCS/FBS games.
Arkansas will sell out/allready has sold out their 72,000 seat stadium. I will say the average ticket price at Razorback Stadium is $42.
42 x 72000 = $3,024,000.00
That does not include extra money paid for suites, corporate sponsors, or consesions.
I think Western deserves to get more than a measely 10%.
