Because they are trying to prove themselves worthy of national title consideration by playing top teams?

Nobody is saying they have to take a loss; but if they’d settle for 300k instead of demanding a million, they’d get a lot more offers. IIRC, Nebraska turned them down for that reason.

I think BSU is starting to get the message. They will play at Michigan State in 2012 and have home and home with MSU in 2022-2023. It’s a start.
