That's interesting, thanks for the enlightenment. Can't say I think the resulting trouncings have been working out great for UH football's program. After all, if the resulting sense of failure and injuries compromise the team's success, attendance at games and game broadcast sales will logically fall off, neutralizing any "blood money" profits. Who wants to see a demoralized team get "clobbered"?
I guess the players are aware this is why they're playing these teams?

This is a common practice in college football. The stronger conferences pay teams from weaker conferences to play the first 3 or 4 games of the season as preseason or warmup games. This allows a Big 10 or Pac 12 team to refine plays, and try out second string players under actual game situations.
