Tonka Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Shouldn't SLU try and play one of the best teams in the country every year even if they don't offer us a return game? It seems the Duke game helped our SOS a lot. Plus, we got paid to play at Duke. I understand the need to not be one of "those" teams that teams will always think they don't have to offer a return game. But, if you do it for one of your OOC games, it helps your RPI, you get paid and it prepares your team to play on the road against one of the best teams in a hostile environment. What am I missing here? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I am pretty sure we paid $75,000 to play there. And we had to pay for a chartered flight. Wrong. We were paid somewhere around $85,000 to play there. Not sure if that's the exact amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wrong. We were paid somewhere around $85,000 to play there. Not sure if that's the exact amount Westy just dominated BK. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_08 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sorry to say it, but SOS does not matter when you are 7 and 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sorry to say it, but SOS does not matter when you are 7 and 11. I believe Tonka was talking about doing this in the future. But thanks for the happy thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBall Fan Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I am pretty sure we paid $75,000 to play there. And we had to pay for a chartered flight. RM said on the radio that we were being paid 75,000 for the Duke game. Dont remember which show it was on. Either with Bernie or Frank. He also said the game was scheduled thinking our team would be in tact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
