No Cal Poly?

It'd be a nice check ($2.4 million?) but I hope not, these remaining ones could be fun. The fact they're paying Pelini, Eichorst and (soon) Riley something like $10 million not to work might weigh against that though.

Doubtful, they got 4 home games and no road games out of the deal. No other school's AD is dumb enough to make such a deal. At $800,000 a game that's much cheaper than the $1.6 million they paid Ark St.

It being cheaper would make it more likely to be bought out I'd think. Easier to just replace with some other team they're more comfortable with.

NIU gets 3 more shots at Nebraska at home!!! After NIU's first win, should Nebraska buy us out, I doubt that another B1G team will step in and pay NIU $800K to beat them infront of their home crowd.

Nebraska with a big win over Rutgers. We should be rooting for every team we beat to win. Makes us look better at the end of the season.

Agreed!

Who is NIU's Chancellor?
Do we have that position?

There is no Chancellor in the NIU system.
