"According to the game contract, which UCFSports.com recently obtained from UM via a Freedom of Information Act request, UCF will receive a payment of $1.5 million dollars for the one-time appearance in Ann Arbor on Sept 10, 2016."

"The American's TV deal with ESPN nets each member school approximately $2 million dollars per year. The shortfall in projected revenue is perhaps the biggest reason why school leaders have softened their stance on only scheduling opponents on a home-and-home basis."

Just stop man. Conference USA is going to be a bottom feeder going forward in football. You know your conference is bad when a FCS move up is in position to win the conference.

Tallgrass is a Tulsa fan. They will be in the AAC next season, genius. C-USA will be just fine. We have plenty of great bowl locations and had a great conference title race this season. The AAC could end up with only 4 bowl teams, and the Sun Belt will probably have a few bowl eligible teams, like Troy, staying home again this year. I think right now the Belt is still the bottom feeder.

Bowl games have nothing to do with a conference being a bottom feeder. Being terrible makes you a bottom feeder. All the belt needs to do is keep on improving and the bowl games will follow. Even a UNT fan cannot say that the fact that the belt may have all but one team which is an FCS start up bowl eligible is impressive.

That has been said for a long time and it still has not happened. The Belt offers no advantage over C-USA. That is why every university in the Sun Belt would jump at an invitation to C-USA. Yes the Belt posted some nice records this season. They even won some games from the weaker C-USA teams, but the Belt is not a better conference. ULL is the best team in the Belt, and will play Tulane, probably the 6th or 7th best team in C-USA, in the NO Bowl and I don't think ULL will win that game. If ULL loses the New Orleans Bowl to Tulane, a team ranked 4th in C-USA West, the Sun Belt will look really bad.

WKU is a situation where the Sun Belt has no alternative but to look bad. WKU beat ASU and should get an invitation to the Go Daddy Bowl. The Belt looks bad if it sends a team that is leaving to that bowl and lets ASU, Troy, ULM and Texas State all sit home during bowl season. But, if the Belt doesn't send WKU they will look like they are manipulating the system.

You can believe what you want, but C-USA isn't a bottom feeder. C-USA is in a much better position then the Sun Belt.

A road win over Michigan would raise their BCS standing and be the difference between getting the 1 bid that the G5 leagues get or being #2

Don't understand why so many are assuming UCF is going to win a game two years from now against a team that recruits heads, shoulders, knees and toes better than they do. Sure UCF is having a great season, but of the players on the 47 slot offensive and defensive depth charts this year only 25 have the possibility of playing in the game.

Well Michigan did play at an AAC stadium this year. I guess if they pay more $$ for an AAC to come to Ann Arbor than others, it's a pretty good sign.....I doubt many would argue that teams with 50k stadiums deserve H and H games with teams who pack 100k. But the majority of the AAC has a pretty good P5 H and H line up in the next few years.

Seems as though he and the article made a point and hit a nerve.

Both he and the article did not make a point. Which other American Conf teams have scheduled a game like this?

It's just UCF...and no offense to UCF, but they have a TON of debt to pay off. So, in their case, yes, they needed to get a big payout. But that is not the case for all of the other American Conf teams. And no other teams (as OP said in the heading) have scheduled a one and done game.

Ohio state has paid Cincinnati 1000000 to not play them the last 2 times the game was scheduled.

And for your information Tulane lost to one of the worst teams in the Sun Belt that has not even had an FBS team for five years. I would not be so confident in them beating ULL.

If your going to keep using that argument please use all of the facts. How long has conference USA existed vs the Sun Belt? This is like bragging about Miami having more winning seasons than UCF. Of course CUSA has more bowl games genius you guys have 14 teams and have been around for a long time. The Sun Belt is still young and only has eight teams right now.

I could care less what ESPN's fictional conference ratings are. Every Sun Belt team played an FCS program this season. Replace those games with respectable FBS competition and only ULL, WKU, and ASU are bowl eligible. Troy needed overtime to beat a UAB team that went 2-10 this season.

And this is based on what? Oh, that's right nothing again your just pulling it out your butt because UNT had to go to a weaker conference to start winning again. Are your Troy references supposed to upset me or something lol?

The fact is the average team in conference USA is rated very low and you guys have a collection of the worst teams in college football. You have six absolutely terrible teams who are among the worst teams in college football this year. And if you want to see something even more laughable then that! Add count the number of teams with winning records FAU, UTSA, and MTSU have beaten this year. Just in case you still have your green shades on there are only eight teams in the Sun Belt and five are already bowl eligible with potential sixth one this weekend. Conference USA almost has as many as many losing teams as the Sun Belt even has teams.

Go on back to the delusional conference USA board where no one is allowed to call you out. You guys have the most teams with losing records out of any conference and you guys have played against the worst competition of any conference. THAT MAKES YOU THE WORST CONFERENCE.

Don't see the drama over why everyone makes a big deal out of who's doing the one and done deals. If UCF can get paid $1.5 mil and still get 6 to 7 home games at their place, it's not a big deal. Besides, if the AAC wants to elevate their status, then these 1 and dones will be one avenue to getting exposure for the conference.

At the very least, there's a stigma. I've seen it locally here in Dallas where North Texas has routinely scheduled SEC teams for a big payday. We call them "body bag" games. There's some disrespect involved; the P5 schools feel they're too good to play games at your stadium.

One good note on North Texas ... they played Georgia this year and took the game into the 4th quarter. One of these games, North Texas just may shock some SEC school.

Well you can be like Boise State this year and schedule no one and done games and be bad and not get paid. You can beat the team and get paid to do it. Or you can lose and be on national television and get exposure.

There are many SEC, Big 12, and ACC that Ohio State would never even consider signing a home and home with. However, if UCF was smart they would be on the phone with Miss State and Ole Miss. They will sign and home and home with anyone.
