The same way they played @Appy St last year. It was scheduled just like they were scheduled to come to Marshall until our AD let them out of it. Miami doesn’t have the money to play at home every game.
Both Tenn and Miami. I think someone said Tenn bought out their return game. However I seem to remember it was a 2-1 and I think they pulled the plug on it after one game
Tennessee was a 3 for 1 that we backed out of after 2 games.
Tennessee was a 3 for 1 that we backed out of after 2 games. Miami was a 2 for 1 we backed out of after 1 game. I believe Miami was supposed to come to Huntington in 2011 so we would’ve had home games with VT and Miami in the same year.
Why?
I believe we backed out of the Tennessee games because the buyout was small and Kayo didn’t believe they would come to Huntington or arrange a game in Nashville so we took a big payday in Wisconsin instead.
Miami I believe was canceled because kayo wanted the big payday at Ohio state in 2010 instead of 2 games against a team he didn’t think we could beat. Ultimately, I think it was an attempt to make the schedule easier and to make a couple big paydays.
