I know that in a state where schools are strapped for money in so many ways, that $500 might be a lot to them on the surface.



Now we get paid about around $65 to $70 depending on the conference and each time we ask for some level of a raise, the schools cry poor. And to make a long story short, we do not even get paid the same amount for a double header in any sport, we get paid a regular fee and a portion of the fee for the second game, because it is seen as we are already there, so why pay another full game fee? Well that does not go over well, but the reasoning is always money and it would cost too much.

Our DH fees are 2x single game fees here.
