A “Buy Game” is where a small college goes on the road in football or basketball to play at a major college powerhouse, with the likelihood of absorbing a huge loss in exchange for a huge payday.

Obviously the visitor’s share of payment for a game at Michigan, Ohio State etc. is a lot more than at another small southern HBCU for Mississippi Valley.

So, the bigger school “buys” a 99% guaranteed win, the smaller school gets to play on national TV in front of a big crowd, and takes home a six-figure paycheck to help fund their athletic department.

As long as nobody gets a serious injury and nobody’s pride is hurt via a 40-50 point loss to the powerhouse, it’s a win win situation.

The same people who write "Power Five opponents" instead of "Power Four" as though the Pac-12 is still a thing.
