• BYU: The Sooners got a $2.25 million paycheck from ESPN and the Dallas Cowboys, plus 1,000 tickets behind the team bench, four suites and 100 parking passes, all for the honor of playing in Jerry Jones' new palace, getting their Heisman-winning quarterback hurt and falling flat on their face.



• Idaho State: OU paid the Bengals $500,000 to come to Norman for a 64-0 beatdown. For the OU offense, that's $7,812.50 for each point scored. Or $886.52 for each yard gained. For the OU defense, that's $11,363.63 for each yard allowed. Or $29,411.76 for each tackle-for-loss. Or $500,000 for each third-down conversion. Who says money can't buy happiness?



• Tulsa: The Golden Hurricane got $250,000 for the experience of losing 45-0 to the Sooners. That's the same thing OU got for playing at Chapman Stadium in 2007. In 2011, OU will pay Tulsa $350,000. Under this contract, the visiting team also gets 125 game programs.



• Miami: Within 90 days, Oklahoma will receive a check from Miami for $350,000. That's the same amount OU paid Miami for the 2007 game in Norman. Big 12 refs will work the game in Miami (ACC refs worked the game in Norman). Any breach of contract would have required a $750,000 buyout. The visitor also gets 60 bench passes and 5,000 tickets (including up to 330 band and spirit seats and 300 comp tickets).
