Why do they continue to have that game in Dallas?
There’s no damn way that game should have only 5K. And I bet 4.5K were SU fans

For justification of attendance I always go watch the halftime shows and yea the attendance was about right. 95 percent was SU. I watched last year halftime show to check the attendance out and seem like there were more 2018 from both schools.

That is good point. I know thats what I would have done especially as you said with 3 major games still to come.Pinching pennies and getting ducks in a row! Skipping Dallas for Lorman, Jackson and New Orleans?

It would have been less if asu had played.
It has only been there for 2 years and that's what they signed the contract for. I'm not sure if there will be a extension on this or between these 2 schools.
SU just wouldn't have gotten paid if the game were in Houston. Playing in Dallas was a win for SU financially.
And for future recruiting both academically and athletically as well. It was a win-win-win for SU.

The SU vs TxSU game looked larger than 5K

The attendance was not what I would have expected, but as someone that was there it was certainly more than 5,100.

How much was made?
Don't know yet but travel expenses were paid. That's a win even if no ticket revenue was made. We would've had to pay expenses coming to Houston.
According to the the Advocate we got paid $350,000. I was off a little.
from $250,000-$300,000 from the State Fair Classic against Texas Southern in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Banks said he’s be willing to play a similar game in Atlanta against an HBCU powerhouse like North Carolina A&T.
For Southern's 1,000th game, a tough trip to Memphis — a necessary (probable) loss
Whatever happens when Southern steps up in class to take on Memphis in the Liberty Bowl on Saturday, the Jaguars hit a milestone just by kicking off.

But the SFC was a win-win-win for SU. Or, are you talking about the ATL deal?

I'd rather have ownership of these neutral-site games than play games with a promoter that doesn't want the games televised because of some BS about it hurting attendance.
The SFC is PV-Grambling. I understand the "exposure" angle and playing in new markets, but we're killing off the remaining home base with lackluster OOC scheduling and being at the mercy of the SWAC schedule as we transition to the 8-game conference slate. Real talk, the Dallas deal was more of a win-win-win for Texas Southern than it was for SU.
(SIDENOTE: I wish we'd stop calling the conference schedules "mandates").
Savannah State moving back down to D-2 might help open up the possibility of playing FAMU more often after next season (prayerfully in a home-and-home). Maybe I'm a little "old school" when it comes to scheduling, but I firmly believe you schedule as many games as you can in your own place first. But, this is the "new" normal a lot of our schools are facing.
There were folk complaining that the Southern-PV game "only" had 16,248 in Mumford. My response is a helluva lot of FCS schools would kill for 16,000 in the stands.
Maybe I'm overthinking. I just want the best for our schools — on the field, in the classroom and in the box office.

Week after homecoming for TSU, week after PV for Southern. TSU being 0-5 did not help either. Only us die hard made the trip.

Su only got 400K for the BC? Who's getting the money from that game? That should be well over a million dollars coming into their coffers.
