YSU receives payday as Penguins head to Pitt
No matter the outcome of the University of Pittsburgh game on Saturday, Youngstown State University stands to make a significant gain.
The Penguins will receive $400,000 from Pitt just for participating.
Since Division I-AA YSU began playing Division I Football Bowl Subdivision schools in 2005, the results have been underwhelming.
Along with Pitt (2005 and 2009), YSU has played Pennsylvania State University (2006 and 2010), Ohio State University (2007 and 2008), and Michigan State University (2011). Losing all of those games, the Penguins have trailed by an average of 34 points.
Still, YSU has collected a hefty payday for each beatdown. In the first meeting with the Panthers, the Penguins earned $250,000. The most that the ?money games? have brought in was in 2008: $650,000 from OSU, at an average of $450,000.
And while Ron Strollo, executive director of athletics, denied that the FBS matchups are strictly about money ? which goes toward funding scholarships ? he did admit that it plays a role.
?It?s been great experiences for our student-athletes,? Strollo said. ?They get to play in venues that are some of the best in the country, against some of the teams that are the best in the country. It?s also something our fans look forward to, and it provides the institution with a lot of marketing and promotion.
?And, obviously, it also helps financially with the game guarantees.?
However, from a competitive standpoint, the ?money games? have been a disaster. In the seven games combined, the Penguins have recorded only two touchdowns. They have failed to top 10 points in six of the seven games.
Even worse, YSU has allowed an average of 38 points per game.
