$20 Million College Football Game?

Bruton Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports says he has offered the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech $20 million each to play a football game at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Incredible. The track holds something like 170,000 people, but I don't know how they would configure it for football. But, does that even matter? $20 million? Twenty million dollars! For just one game?

It's mind-boggling. I don't know how the teams could turn that down.
