A4 FALL SPORTS PREVIEW August 18, 1999 Football Big Payouts Helping the Little Guys Survive Division l-A Money Games Becoming a Necessity in l-AA Football by Don Costello Editor-in-Chief If you glance through the schedules of the Southern Conference's nine football programs you will see some big-time opponents mixed in with the usual conference schedule. The term used to describe these games is "money game." Western Carolina plays Maryland. Appalachian State butts heads with Auburn. The Citadel marches against Vanderbilt. Furman tackles the Tar Heels, and so on. Most of the SoCon's schools don't have a snowball's chance in Statesboro of overcoming these venerable opponents. The only team with a snowball's chance comes from Statesboro. Georgia Southern treks to Corvallis, Ore., to try to dam the Beavers of Oregon State. Why do these schools serve as a sacrificial lamb to the mega-schools? Three words: The Almighty Dollar. "Playing the money games is something in this league that all schools have to do," WCU's head coach Bill Bleil said. As it stands, many Division I-AA football programs are struggling to stay afloat as athletic programs try to comply with Title IX regulations. Two years ago, Boston University threw away decades of football tradition by dropping the program in favor of keeping the athletic department in the black. Western Carolina was one of only a handful of Division I-AA football programs that did not lose money in 1998. At the Southern Conference Football Rouser in July, many of the SoCon's head coaches acknowledged that these money games with mega-schools have become a necessity. "We're all in trouble financially," said The Citadel's head coach Don Powers, who graduated from WCU and was an assistant coach for the Cats under Bob Waters. "Football at the I-AA level is not going to survive unless we can stay on the revenue screen," he said. Powers said the best way to do this is to get the large paydays for games against Division I schools. The Citadel breaks away in the middle of its Southern Conference schedule to play Vanderbilt. Last season, the Bulldogs went to play the University of Florida in Gainesville for close to a half-million dollar payout. Powers credits the willingness of Division I-A schools to play I-AA opponents to the rule change in the early-90s that allowed the Division I schools to count I- AA games towards wins required to get into a bowl. "I wouldn't mind playing two Division I-A teams per year," Powers said. WCU's head coach Bill Bleil is no stranger to these money games. "When I was at Pacific we played five [money games] per year," said Bleil. Even with large payouts from schools such as Nebraska, Pacific still couldn't survive and dropped its football program after the 1995 season. In 1998, the Catamounts played Duke for a payout of close to $ 150,000, and this year's game against Maryland will bring in roughly the same amount. Louisiana State is paying close to $400,000 for WCU to come to Baton Rouge in 2000. When I-AA schools know they have to play these games they are sure to lose, they are more prepared. It's the surprise games that are handed down from administration that put the teams in a bind, said East Tennessee State's head coach Paul Hamilton. "In February [1998], the interim athletic director came to me and said, 'We have a chance to play Miami (Fla.) and Mississippi State,' so we had to drop James Madison and Elon from the schedule," Hamilton said. "When they tell me we're in a financial bind and we have to play Miami and Mississippi State there's not too much I can say." Miami went on to play Syracuse for the Big East title and Mississippi State came to within an eye lash of dropping Tennessee in the SEC Championship. Needless to say, those games weren't easy for ETSU. This year, the Bucs schedule has no money game. The reason: All were booked up. "Well, I can assure you this, we called everyone from Kansas State on down," Hamilton said. Hamilton admitted that the toughest thing about playing the money games is "turning around the next week and playing a Georgia Southern or App. State." Aside from the money that these games bring in, they also give national notoriety How much are they willing to pay? School Amount University of Maryland $150,000 Duke University $150,000 University of Nebraska $500,000 University of North Carolina $300,000 Auburn University $400,000 North Carolina State Univ. $150,000 Clemson University $200,000 University of Georgia $200,000 Schools such as Maryland and Auburn are paying $100,000s to play I-AA opponents on their home turf. to the smaller programs. "[Money games] have given us some of our greatest moments in program history," said Don Powers, whose program has beaten Arkansas, South Carolina, and Army, twice, in the 1990s. If the Catamounts hit on all the right cylinders on Sept. 11 in College Park, Md., and upset the Maryland Terrapins, it will be one of the greatest victories in the history of WCU. To have that chance makes it all worthwhile. at^uHmiee mumwmmmmwi I^STHDMHOIIW Beautifully Furnished and Fully Air Conditioned Private Bedrooms/Private Baths in Quad-Style Suites Shared Living Area and Fully Equiped Kitchen We're "Cutting Deals" to get you Out of Your Current Housing.
