Coaches' Salary Incentives

I had no idea that this went on. The NCAA selection committee factors in the weakness of an opponent, so why bother paying for a cupcake win?

"This is how it works: high-major programs offer big money incentives to the smaller programs to fly in to play them and land the hosts a relatively easy win. In exchange, the hosts will dole out as much as six-figures in some cases, money that goes into the bank about of the smaller program’s athletic department."
