AMES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa State men's basketball team will be paid $125,000 to open next season against Colorado in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Sanford Frontiers, the corporation that runs the Pentagon events center, will pay the Cyclones that amount according to a contract released by the school to The Associated Press on Friday.
Iowa State would owe Sanford $100,000 if it backs out of the game.
The contract did not say how much the Buffaloes will be paid for the Nov. 13 game.
High-profile college basketball games are nothing new to the Pentagon. The 3,200-seat gym has recently hosted Wisconsin, St. John's, Wichita State and Memphis.
