The schools signed a one-game contract, with television rights belonging to CU and the Pac-12 Conference, which will also provide the game officials. In return, Idaho State will receive a payment of $500,000.
Northern Colorado will make its first trip to Boulder since 1933 when the Bears head south to visit on Sept. 16, 2017. That also is a one-game contract, with CU and the Pac-12 owning the broadcast rights and the officials to come from the Pac-12. CU will compensate UNC in the amount of $350,000, and the Greeley school also will be provided 1,700 tickets at various prices that it can sell and retain the proceeds (currently estimated at $30 and $50, which could net UNC an additional $75,000).
