Nebraska expects to get $250,000 to $400,000 from each of the first three pay-per-view broadcasts, compared to $275,000 from a network telecast.

Sadly, this might be counterproductive if fans are arguing for tougher games on the schedule.  When you can get a home game with New Mexico State and potentially get more money for the telecast than a bigger opponent, what's the incentive for playing a team like Virginia Tech?
