The Wolf Pack football team has added another seven-figure payday to its future schedule.
After getting $1.5 million to play at Texas A&M last season and drawing $1 million to play at Notre Dame this season, Nevada has scheduled a game at Northwestern in 2017 that will pay the Wolf Pack $1.2 million. The contract was obtained by the Reno Gazette-Journal on Monday via a public records request.
That $1.2 million guarantee is the second largest in program history behind the Texas A&M game. It also completes the Wolf Pack's 2017 non-conference schedule, which includes a road game at Washington State and home games against Toledo and Idaho.
