San Jose State Is Tired of Cheap Pac-10 Dates

The Pac-10 has now been stood-up twice by San Jose State for dates in 2010. The Spartans are one of those programs that are willing to go out with one of those studly BCS programs and not expect a second date at home.

Just because San Jose is willing to go anywhere for a one-nighter, though, does not mean they are cheap. The Spartans have realized that their popularity with the big programs means it should be a first-class evening, one that makes it worth their while.

San Jose skipped out on its picnic with Stanford when Alabama came in with nearly $1 million for the night. Now the Spartans have decided to break off plans with Arizona State.

The Sun Devils' mere $450,000 for a one-nighter was no match for Wisconsin's full wine-and-dine of around $900,000. Even with the $250,000 buyout, San Jose State comes out ahead. Arizona State, however, is now looking for someone else to come to their place.
