FYI- SHSU bids big every year they're not seeded. Typically highest in country. Those Texas A&M, LSU, Baylor and Tech games pay off when it comes down to bidding. We lost money the SUU game but it's worth it considering SHSU is 9-0 at home in the playoffs.

SHSU "gets" it. Their endowment per student is $2500, compared to over $31,000 for Colgate.
