Auburn is shelling out $1.5 million to bring Jacksonville State back for a 2026 football showdown—nearly double what these matchups used to cost. That’s a huge payday for Jax State and a sign of just how competitive (and expensive) in-state games have become. For fans, it’s not just about the score anymore; these big payouts are shaping the schedules and rivalries we see each season. What do you think—does the price tag make these games more exciting, or is it all about the money now? #Sports #Football #AuburnFootball
