The Vols pay UAB $925,000 in 2015 for a Sept. 5 neutral-site meeting at LP Field in Nashville, $500,000 to Western Carolina and $750,000 to North Texas. Per the contract, Tennessee is designated as the home team in Nashville against UAB and the contest is considered a home game for the Vols.

When Tennessee moved its North Texas meeting from 2011 back to 2015, it cost the Vols an additional $150,000, going from an initial price of $600,000 to the current price of $750,000.

I'd be willing to give them back their extra $150K, if they'd sign a "Home and Home" with us should we beat them.

How in the hell is UAB worth more than a game with us?

I had some thoughts on this, then I shot them all down as I wrote out my reply. So I arrived at: I really don't know.

Unless LP is kicking in some extra cash (or ticket prices are substantially higher), it doesn't seem to make much sense, as Neyland holds about 30k more people than LP Field.

At least we got an additional $150K for moving it back. Originally it was only for $600K which seems low to me. Then again Tennessee is pretty down, if we have a good season I could see them getting nervous about this game.

They might also fear us a bit more than they do UAB... ever think of that? Why pay more to a team that could very well come in and beat you in front of your ignorant fanbase (Tenn fans are delusional)

Last year South Alabama almost beat them.

It's a 2 and a half hour drive straight up I-65 from Birmingham to Nashville. Takes just as long as going from Denton to Fort Worth on a Friday afternoon.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I hear you, and I appreciate that you're reading deeper than surface-level statistics. You raise good points and have valid concerns. To further add to the context of all this, I think it's worth noting that UCF was Sam Houston's second game of the year, which means it was the second game of Cassity implementing his system. Similarly, Texas State was Sam Houston's fifth game of the year, so both UCF and TxSt were within the first half of the season. While we all wish and hope for instant change, it's impossible to have a unit firing on all cylinders with a new scheme in the first half of a new coordinator's first year. When you take that into consideration, I think the important thing to look for is growth/progress/improvement throughout the season. After holding Texas State to 39, they held Western Kentucky to 31, Jacksonville State to 21, and Liberty to 18 as the season went on. WKU and Jax State are #1 and #2 in CUSA playing in the championship game, and Liberty finished the season 8-4 with a win over East Carolina (a team we lost to with an interim coach). Further, Texas State put up 28 on now 10-2 Arizona State (who's likely headed to the CFP) the week before they put up 39 on Sam Houston. An 11-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston isn't terrible in game 5 of a new coordinator. If you wipe out TxSt's defensive touchdown and consider it 32 points given up by Sam Houston's defense, that's only a 4-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston's defense. I know this isn't all an apples-to-apples comparison, and I agree that his decline from year 1 to year 2 at ACU is concerning. However, I think there are some arguments to suggest Cassity's defensive unit did pretty well in year one of implementation and showed respectable growth over the course of the season, which makes me skeptically optimistic.

      It appears that they overlooked UNCG and were focusing on North Texas. This could be a trap game.
