    About the same as an FBS game payout. The payout is 2 million divided by two conferences. The conferences divide that million how they want. I've seen anywhere from 450,000 to 550,000 for teams participating in the game, with something like 15 to 20k for the rest of the teams in conference. Good ticket sales can affect that somewhat, however the teams are on the hook to buy x amount of tickets, so there is some math involved. My source is NCA&T.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    The game was sold out along time ago.

    So let me get this right. You don’t have to play anyone for the season to help limit injuries, go to a “Bowl” game on national television for a “National” championship and make a bunch of money on top of it? Where do we sign up?

    Don't forget the band showdown after the game.

    Just like Ivy League football, this is a different brand of FCS football.
