The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga will be paid a combined $170,000 for playing basketball games at LSU and Georgia Tech this season.
They won’t get a dime from playing at No. 7 Kansas tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
Almost every team from a one-bid league such as the Southern Conference has to play money games to pay the bills. Kansas paid UTC to open the 2003-04 season.
But not this time.
The game is part of the 12-team CBE College Hall of Fame Classic which is a multiple-site tournament including teams from Washington State to USC Upstate.
