Even those payout are creeping up. Montana State was to receive
$675,000 for playing Utah. That's 8% of their 2018-19 football revenue. I agree that on the whole FCS programs are more fiscally prudent but 8% is still a big chunk.
Montana State University brought football players back to its Bozeman campus this week for voluntary workouts. The University of Utah will do the same beginning June 15 as the two sides progress towards having their non-conference football game played as scheduled, Sept. 12 at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
