The University of Georgia Athletic Association is paying University of North Texas $975,000 to travel to Athens and play the Bulldogs in football this Saturday, which is a lot to spend on a cupcake. For years, college football powerhouses have paid smaller, weaker programs to travel and play away games on the larger programs’ home fields. The agreement between the two schools, which was signed in 2008, stipulates that Georgia must give North Texas 4,500 tickets to sell to its fans. Any tickets that were not sold by Aug. 30 were returned to the UGAAA. Georgia also allotted North Texas 300 complimentary tickets. The game with North Texas was originally scheduled for Aug. 31, 2013, however, in 2009, the two schools agreed to move the game to September in order to enable the Bulldogs to take on the Clemson Tigers on Aug. 31. If either team should back out of the game, it would owe the other $600,000, unless the cancellation was mutually consensual. The full $975,000 must be received by North Texas by Jan. 31, 2014.
