Michigan to get a $6 million pay day for playing Florida in 2017 at Cowboy Stadium

[BleedGopher]

per CBS:

Michigan will make a second attempt at taking on an SEC power in the JerryDome, signing on in December to play Florida to open the 2017 season. Why are the Wolverines so agreeable when the first attempt went so poorly? They explained why Friday when they released their contract for the 2017 Cowboys Classic, one that per the Associated Press will pay them $6 million for their participation.

The $6 million will be provided to ESPN by AT&T Stadium organizers, and then paid by the broadcaster to the Wolverines.

So does that revenue get shared to all teams in the B1G like a bowl game would?

I wonder when the gophers will start to get some neutral field non-conference non-bowl game offers...

A payday like that for Gophers will be a nice down payment on the 200 million dollar athletic facility...
