Because you can actually make a lot of money.
Winston-Salem State is making the jump this season to Division-I, and has set up a schedule loaded with
"guarantee games". The games are called guarantee games I suppose for two reasons.
First, because they get a guaranteed payment agreed upon in advance just for showing up and
playing, and there is no return game or home and home offered.
The other reason must be that they will be guaranteed to lose lots of these games.
BUT--they sure can be profitable.
Here is an article about all the guarantee games Winston-Salem State is playing this year and
how they will profit $500,000 from their 29 game schedule that includes only SIX home games.
WSSU plays at Kansas (for an $80,000 guaranteed payment) and also at Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Notre
Dame, and Auburn. Just so they don't go 0-29, they have rigged their schedule with a few ultra patsies also, adding
Anderson, Ferrum, North Dakota State (twice), Columbia Uniion, Alabama A&M, Coppin State, Towson, Morgan State, and
Florida A&M. Maybe someone should do a pick em to guess their final record in their first year of D-I.
