The Skyhawks are a very respectable program at the FCS level, generally finishing in the top half of the Ohio Valley Conference standings. UT-Martin even beat Memphis in 2012, but that was pre-Justin Fuente, pre-Paxton Lynch, during the Tigers’ C-USA days. Over the past few years, UT-M has stepped up it’s competition and agreed to become lambs for the slaughter in exchange for dollar signs. I’m not sure how much the Skyhawks are getting to make the trip up to Nippert, but it’s probably at least a few hundred thousand dollars. They have been involved in “bodybag game” losses to Ole Miss, Boise State, Kentucky, and Northern Illinois – none of which has been close.
