We might see more stuff like this if people start thinking about a 10 or 11 game conference schedule

For some reason I want to say 800k but that’s just going off memory.

I think we paid out 800k but got 1 mil back on the reschedule.

You don't make money on home/home deals.

If we "gained" money by going to UNC this year, we'll pay it right back whenever they come here. Now if they back out of the Mpls return trip, then you become correct.

Normally that's true, but I also remember articles talking about making money on this deal.
