Well, the B1G at $90M per team per year and the SEC at $80M per team per year can pay MAC schools more than a Big 12 team at $38M per year (which UC is not at full share yet). Disclaimer: those figures may not be totally accurate but are in the ballpark.

I say UC keeps its payment to MU the same. If it truly values the rivalry, it should play it for the sake of that rivalry. If they balk, UC walks. And there is no reason for UC to play at MU. Nippert or nothing.

Ummm, that's how we got here. They balked at always being the away team for a rivalry (which is semi-fair) and on the money (which is not fair because they signed a contract and should renogiate at end of contract).

Nonetheless, a neutral site game should mean we pay them less and each gets revenue based on increased ticket sales. I'd rather have it at Nippert every 2-3 years, but find it is acceptable to keep the rivalry going at a neutral site.

I believe that the other p4 schools they play don't give them a return game in Oxford as we do or a game in Cincy at Paycor with them I believe as the home team. So give them more money & let's play them every year at Nippert.

I read a neutral site game every 2-3 years, nothing final yet. I like the idea of not playing them annually, while also keeping a rivalry with this much history going. There's no way we are paying them 750,000-1,000,000 to play at Nippertjust because some Big 10 teams pay them that amount.

Curiosity - How much do they pay us to come to Oxford?

Chad Brendel: Sources tell @BearcatJournal that UC and Miami are trending towards a plan to continue the Victory Bell in some capacity going forward. Likely to be a neutral site type deal every few seasons.

Bad idea. The game does zero for UC. Just end it and move on.

I'm not at all concerned about the Shootout ending. The UC-Miami rivalry is ending because the chasm between the Haves and Have-Nots is now huge. The Redhawks are cash-strapped and need more buy games. That's not the case for XU (at least to the extent of G5 football schools).

I wonder if the tables will turn in the next 5 years. I’m not sure the B12 hangs on when full on expansion takes place with the SEC & B10. I suspect UC may again wind up on the outside looking in where the Victory Bell may seem appealing again. I believe basketball may sit in a different level league and I could see a scenario where XU sits prettier in the BE and the Crosstown Shootout may have XU saying no thanks. It’s easy to feel confident when things are tr ending your way, but I think UC’s not in a great position with our current AD & FB coach.in the next 2-3 years

Curious - UC hasn't been very effective in winning (6 wins in the last 21 meetings) the Crosstown Shootout in the last 20 years. What do folks think if that goes away, too? Any concerns?
