A place to post what MEAC teams are getting in these guaranteed football games.
FAMU will take home $400,000 from its football game against the University of South Florida at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on September 17, 2011.
USF defeated FAMU, 37-3, in 2005, the only meeting between the two programs. The game was the Bulls' home opener that season and produced one of the top crowds in program history up to that point. It marked the first time that tickets in the upper deck at Raymond James Stadium were made available for a USF game, resulting in a crowd of over 43,122 fans. That was the second largest attendance number in USF’s history.
Tampa Bay Sports Commission is also paying FAMU $60k on top of what USF is paying FAMU to make this game possible, and that FAMU get to keep 100% of the funds from the tickets they sell through their ticket office.
FAMU has also signed a contract to play USF again on September 5, 2015.
