IP, what do we pay to a visiting team? How does that compare to schools @ the mid major level?

Well, Go, as an example--Akron is given approx $400k to buy home games in any given season and I think our budget is around $30k.

There is no way in hell Akron is paying $400K for a basketball game.  That is the kind of money a BCS football team pays for a buy game.  Ohio State pays $50-60K for a basketball game.  UC, Xavier, and Dayton were offering $40-50K for buy games this year.  CSU and WSU offer $30-40K for buy games.

If you read my post, I never said $400k was for one game. It is a season budget.

Wow are we not reading correctly.  $400,000 is for the whole season.  YSU picked up about $40,000 of that for our visit last year. Also, rumors continue about the new all purpose Akron University basketball/ Convention Center next on the agenda of money being spent to upgrade their facilities.  They have "unlimited funds both state and private". Capacity projected at 15,000 for Zip basketball.
