That is AWESOME. So we another home game with a local P5 team. Either a H&H or a 2 for 1 plus $300K.

Quick, all you MH haters try to explain this away.

BTW, if played the game will be at noon, same time as the Big 2, Little 8 championship, and overlapping with the 1:30 start of the CUSA championship, and will be on the "ACC Network" which is a subset of the ESPN3 free internet feed.

Watch our game with VT get higher ratings than CUSA Championship game.

Sam - agreed 100%! This is a win-win. We have been complaining about a lack of future P5 home opponents, so here is one we can count on. I am sure our players are excited about the possibility of showing off on a ACC field!!

Good win-win. MH has always done very well with facilities and scheduling.

I said yesterday it’s good to be cooperative in a relationship business and the result is right here.

I've been a fan since way before he got to MU. I was wanting him here way before he was actually hired.

The way it was first reported it seemed like a one and done. At least someone is looking out for MU's best interest.

....and according the the article, even if VaTech loses Friday, we get $100,000 for the effort + the home & home series in the future...

 

[exHerdSID]

But it is not extra money. The $300,000 reduces the $1.4 million according to the article. But getting the 1-and-1 makes a lot of sense for future money for Marshall, so smart move by Mike.
