How much did SMU pay us to beat them on their own field?
I was wondering what the payday was for yesterday's game against SMU. I found this from the Pony board. It was dated months ago, so not sure how accurate it is.

"Just talked with JMU AD Jeff Bourne. He said SMU will pay JMU $425,000 + lodging, busses and meals for the Sept. 26 game."

I would like to personally thank Southern Methodist University for paying the Dukes $425,000 to beat them on their homecoming. (Not to mention covering the travel costs too)

That is a nice chunk of change to put towards the New basketball arena fund.
Thanks again!

Hasn't it been previously stated (or assumed?) that Withers was taking games like this in order to put that money right back into the program through recruiting and guarantees like Morehead State?

I didn't think they paid for the charter flight?

The way I understood it was they took care of having buses available upon landing in Dallas until the team departed after the game.

Right. According to the statement, they covered local trans (buses), not air. Still, pretty sweet payday.

We need to get games for $1.8 million. Hopefully in the near future for us. We can compete now in the G5. The SMU people were great to tailgate with on Sat. Love to have SMU come to JMU soon.
