What can you buy for $1.4 million dollars?
If you are the Ohio State Buckeyes the answer is a 1 game series at home with Colorado Buffaloes.
As I reported a few weeks ago Gene Smith AD at tOSU was in talks to get this game for next year to fill a open slot. Rumor was Colorado wanted 2+ mill to come and be a gimme win for the Buckeyes. In the end it looks like Mr. Smith was able to Wal-Mart them down to a decent amount and will give the Bickeyes another quality OOC game against a BCS conference school.

Seems like a lot to pay for a single game. But OSU sells out every time and the tickets are $69 a piece. So that’s $7 million a game in ticket sales alone.

So what about the rest of the season? Will OCt 15 be the buy weekend then? Am trying to plan a wedding!

@ Steve- Yeah i did a rough estimate of money made by OSU at a home game with tickets and merch and parking and food and I estimate it has to be in the 15+ mill dollar range. There is a reason OSU is one of only 14 schools who made a profit last year and they are the school with the most athletic programs.
@Jeff- It is official the Oct 15th will be our BYE week next year.

I like it…
Enough of playing 3 scrubs and 1 really good team.
Colorado isn’t great, but they are better than whatever MAC team OSU plays.

What would you do with $1.4million?
Two chics at the same time.

@ SBB- If you find 2 chicks willing to do it for free you can do it in the ‘shoe on the 50 yard line during the game for 1.4 mill

Father – I think you meant that comment on the other post, so I’ve moved it.
