Wait, What? Boston College Is Paying Georgia Tech $900,000 For The Ireland Game

Buried in the Globe's article about BC declining to host UConn at Fenway next year were a few small tidbits about next season's scheduled BC-Georgia Tech game in Dublin.

Now, you know us. When it's at all possible, we're Mr., Mr., Mr., Mr. and Ms. Sunshine, and we try not to read in to every decision made by the school as some sort of unexplainable disaster.

But... apparently, as the hosts, Boston College is paying Georgia Tech $900,000 to participate in the Ireland game. Is there any way this makes any sense? Maybe BC is getting the lion's share of gate revenue even from neutral tickets sold, since the Eagles are the home team?
