Alcorn State Game Thread

My brother thinks it's around 70k. I'm sure it's around 60-70 at the minimum anymore. I wonder what we paid UAB. Surely it was more than we pay the ASUs of the world

yea i heard 70K as well

I thought Mark Potter said we paid Newman $6,000. Rockhurst came here because of a friendship between Hawk Coach Bill O'Connor and the WSU staff. They were paid $10,000.

After thinking about it (and reading the comments) I know the buy in for a D-1 school is more. We collected $80,000 plus expenses when we went to Syracuse, but we were coming off a sweet 16. ASU is a collection of YMCA players.

I had to work late and didn't see the game.If someone have the TM highlight dunk I would like to see it.

This is a little dated but a good read on how tough things are for Alcorn State on the road:

Sounds like a tough go.

I was at the KU game tonight and it was actually a much better game than I expected or would have thought given the score. I'll give Alcorn State one thing. They definitely did not ever give up. They were scrapping right down to the last play. They actually stole it twice in the last 45 seconds or so.

The KU pay out to Alcorn State was $75,000 according to CJonline.

[pinstripers]

Does that mean that we paid that same amount?

Does that mean that we paid that same amount?

NO

[SubGod22]

Does that mean that we paid that same amount?

If we did I hope we got a refund

If we paid less, then KU probably booked their game before us and Alcorn St decided to pick up an extra $60k on the trip.
