University of Texas at San Antonio paid $500,000 to trounce Kennesaw State

The UTSA Roadrunners beat the Kennesaw State University Owls 16-28 on Saturday in the San Antonio team's first game as an American Athletic Conference member. However, that victory — played out in front of home-turf fans at the Alamodome — came at a cost. The Roadrunners coughed up $500,000 for the privilege of defeating the Owls in what's known as a monetary guarantee contract, as first reported in a tweet by UTSA sports blogger JJ Perez.
