CFB: Indiana agrees to move home game for $3 million


Associated Press

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana has agreed to move a home game against Penn State next season to FedExField, home of the Washington Redskins.

The Hoosiers will receive $3 million in return for moving the game on Nov. 20, 2010.
Hoosiers coach Bill Lynch called the change a win-win situation for the program, which has expressed interest in recruiting the Washington area.
Indiana said it will look to add another home game to the 2010 schedule.
The Hoosiers still must sell 7,000 tickets for the game. The stadium seats more than 91,000.
FedExField will also host a game between Boise State and Virginia Tech on Oct. 2, 2010.
