This season, Kent State football went up three teams ranked in the top 25 during its non-conference schedule. The team was outscored 117 to 52 in the three games, all losses. Despite this, these games resulted in $5.2 million for the athletic department. TV2’s Jack Berney explains how that helps other student-athletes.
