That's how much football was played in Lincoln on Saturday night between Nebraska and Akron, and that's also the current payout of the $1.17 million promised to the Mid-American Conference school for making the trip.

Teams, and some fans, stuck around for a two-hour, 40-minute weather delay Saturday, but the lightning was seemingly never-ending. And Akron couldn't find suitable lodging to stick around an play Sunday, so the game was canceled.

Nebraska regents didn't know if Akron would still get paid.
