App will still have 6 home games in Boone that year plus a home game in Charlotte vs ECU. I guess that is what it took for ECU to agree to the series?

Also, that year App has the return game at Miami, who is not providing a payout. There's no "money" game like App has had with Georgia, Clemson, and Tennessee in recent years. The ECU game in Charlotte will provide similar revenue to those "money" games.

The city gets a number of no rent games each year for the millions the city kicked into remodeling BOA. With the number of App & ECU alumni around Charlotte it will be a very well attended game and the gate will be split.

There are financial incentives for ECU to sell single-game tickets for the App State matchup in Charlotte and 2021 season tickets based on how the Appalachian game fits into that package. The Mountaineers also stand to benefit financially, as App State will receive money from every ticket sold and all the revenue from its ticket sales for a game in an NFL stadium with more than 75,000 seats - or roughly three times the capacity of Kidd Brewer Stadium.

That revenue will help Appalachian State because its 2021 schedule doesn't include a hefty payout from a one-time “money” game at an SEC school or another Power Five program. App State's game at Miami in 2021 concludes a home-and-home deal that began with the Hurricanes' 45-10 win in Boone last year, and the trip to south Florida is scheduled for the weekend immediately after the ECU game in Charlotte.
