Panthro,
No, it is not favorable, but that is the going rate. That is $100 by each school, it is about $200K when everything is said and done. The AAU in Dallas is $90K~$100K plus the $1 Million rental insurance policy. The promotion of a game itself, especially a "Classic" in a NFL stadium is not inexpensive. Honestly, that is why it is so difficult for the SWAC Office to move the SCG to New Orleans, Houston, or Dallas. It is to cost prohibitive to make such a move without a greater commitment from the city of interest. It is my understanding the SWAC Office is getting something like $500K from the city of Birmingham.
