Nebrasks is raising the ante for paying for a home game, $2M+.

It's not so much paying $2.1M for a home game, as it is relocating the game so Southern Miss can pay the buyout for its recently-fired football coach. This is a good read on the inner workings of the Southern Miss football program/athletic department over the last 365 days:

Hey, it's better than paying for an away game

Sorry, had to be said.

I would be absolutely furious if I were Southern Miss' fans. An athletic director hired a coach who performed so unbelievably badly, and on such terms, that they had to sell away the biggest home game in school history to pay an inept coach not to coach the team. Glad they cleared out the old AD, fans deserve blood for management this bad.

Yes, heard that on the way home yesterday. Kinda crazy. Sounds like about 26.50 per ticket to pay off the tab. That is assuming it would be a sellout.
