FSU Pays NMSU to Play | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State just paid New Mexico State $1.4 million to come play them — yes, you read that right — in a game that’s more about business than bragging rights. It’s part of a growing trend where powerhouse programs shell out big bucks to schedule weaker opponents, helping them tune up before tougher matchups like ACC play and a rematch with Alabama. New Mexico State, with a storied past but a rough 4-8 season last year, is looking to bounce back — and Florida State is paying them to help them do it. This isn’t even their first buy game of the season — they’ve got another one later this month against Central Arkansas. College football’s getting more commercial, and these “buy games” are just one way the big schools keep their schedules full — and their wallets happy.
