Where does Southern Miss sign up for that action?

Exactly.....we'll be signing up for a H&H for the kind of cash if the offer is on the table. Heck, we'd do just the 1 game at Liberty and say "thanks but no thanks on the return game unless there's minimal or no charge."

It could be the final nail in the coffin for Doc Sadler. Since his contract wasn't rolled over I could see us trying to find a way to play Liberty in 2018/2019 and then tell Doc hit the road after this upcoming season if things don't improve

Good grief! For 1.3 million a game I wish Charlotte would schedule them twice a year. One season against Liberty would equal 13 years of what we get from our CUSA TV deal.

ODU was mentioned by the President of the United States today during his commencement speech at Liberty University. You ought to consider yourself damn lucky.

Really? We had better publicity than that(both good and bad) and i and most others don't really care for what he says. May be you should push your AD for scheduling Liberty fumes and wait to see if you feel lucky.

Again, I think you are damn lucky. I just read where ODU is going to be paid $1.32M to go play the Flames. It's not often that a G5 like ODU (or my LA Tech for that matter) get a $1.3M check and an opportunity for an easy FBS win in the same day.

And yes I do admire the new POTUS.

.@ODUFootball will be paid, and this is not a misprint, $1.32 million when it plays at @LibertyFootball in 2018.

One game, road only, and opening the season...no one else is getting this offer. Perfect storm for odu...in state, home opener, great attendance

Looks like Troy got a similar deal, but I don't know the price tag. All I know is they are playing at Liberty in 2018 and no return game is apparently scheduled.

Troy is part of a H&H they just haven't confirmed a return date yet.
