You will remember in a previous post I linked to an article stating we were receiving $450,000 for our Texas Tech game. This reporter says $475,000. This reporter says $300,000 (which is the figure I believe was quoted last year). These big time MSM reporters would not write a story without actually checking the facts would they?
