Southern Miss has renewed its football series with Auburn.
The Golden Eagles and Tigers will meet at Jordan-Hare Stadium at Auburn, Alabama, in 2018 and 2020, marking the first time they've squared off on the gridiron since 2008.
The kicker: Southern Miss is set to receive a $1.7 million payout from Auburn for the initial matchup and $1.85 million for the second, which works out to two of the richest paydays in college football history.
"I'm excited for our players, coaches and fans," Southern Miss athletic director Bill McGillis said. "These are the kinds of games in which great players want to play and great coaches want to coach.
