Do we make money playing OU in Dallas?

[Califashorn75]

How does that neutral site affect our bottom dollar? If we have 100,000 paying fans at a home game with $200 spent per spectator that is a gross of 20 million dollars. That is likely a low estimate. Is it time to make the OU game a home and home?

No

Texas doesn't make as much as they would with home and home. CDC says there's no way they're moving the game from the Cotton Bowl. I would personally like to cut the criminals off completely. There's no way they can be a viable program without Texas.

Hell no. Are you kidding?

It's a recruiting strategy. Every year OU alumni and fans max out their credit limits to drive to Dallas, exhausting OU's only pool of NIL donations.  Takes them the full year to get caught up on the gas card.

My favorite line from criminal sooner fans over the last couple of 6-7 seasons has been the "This is Oklahoma!" refrain when expressing surprise about their struggles. It's a good lead into pointing out to them that since everyone can pay players now, their cheating advantage days are over. Differently stated, it's not a coincidence they dropped precipitously as soon as everyone could legally pay players. Correlation is not cause, but causality is dynamic temporally speaking.

Go to hell.

I know they formerly paid each school 500,000 for the game and possibly part of the gate as well though I am not sure.  They renegotiated things a couple of years ago and have not seen the details on that.

It's the best environment for any college football game, would be a horrible mistake to change this. Now, OU may be so poor soon that they will refuse to do it and all will be ruined but I hope that's not the case.

Only one making money is Mateers bookie.

He does this on every message board. And often never comes back in the thread again.

Bobby talked to CDC recently. No chance it’s moving.  OP lives in his own little world.

It's definitely a game he plays. I suspect it end like it always does for him....

TX OU is also a big money maker from season ticket holders.  The school allocates tickets to TX OU based on cumulative amounts donated - A lot of Dallas Texas Exes only buy season tickets to ensure access to TX OU.

Several years ago a promoter approached Texas and Oklahoma with a proposal to play the game in the infield of the Texas Motor Speedway North of Fort Worth. I saw the artist's conception drawings and it frankly looked ridiculous. But the promoter talked about potentially pulling in 250-300k fans for the game at the NASCAR venue.

A different promoter tried selling the two universities on playing the game at Jerrah Jones World after it was completed in 2010. Uh, no.

Another guy billing himself as "Eas E. Money" or some such tried to convince the teams to go to a Home and Home version...no thanks, Eas E was told.

I've lived in six different states since graduating from UT in 1978 and I made it a point to go to CFB games around the Nation. The Texas -OU game in the old Cotton Bowl Stadium at the State Fair of Texas is THE most unique setting for a big-time college football game in America.

Hook 'Em!

"Hey guys, I know we have this 100% unique experience that only exists for this one game once a year, that has been happening since basically before any of us were even born, and is considered maybe the best college football game of each year. So I was wondering, should we completely ruin it forever?"
