Ball State will face Oklahoma in its final nonconference game of the 2011 season.
The Sooners will pay the Cardinals $900,000 for the Oct. 1, 2011 contest, according to a contract obtained through the Indiana Access to Public Records Act. It is the most money Ball State has received for a game.
The previous Ball State record for a single game payout was $800,000 for games against Auburn in 2009 and last week's 45-0 loss to Iowa.
Kenneth Mossman, senior associate athletics director of communications for Oklahoma, confirmed the information to the Daily News via e-mail.
This will be the first matchup between the Cardinals and the Sooners. Ball State's last game against a Big 12 school was a near upset, as it fell 41-40 to Nebraska in 2007.
