UTSA's football program is also expected to take on the UT Longhorns in Austin during the 2026, 2028 and 2030 seasons.
What's more, Meep Meep Nation can expect to keep getting pulverized by No. 1 Texas for the next six years, according to details shared by Perez.
According to a contract between Texas and UTSA, the Roadrunners also will take on the Longhorns in Austin during the 2026, 2028 and 2030 seasons. For those games — and probable losses — UTSA will receive $1.7, $1.8 and $1.9 million, respectively.
Paying a team to come and play doesn't always guarantee a win, however.The guarantee payout for @UTSAFTBL playing at Texas this week is $1.6. million. That is the largest guarantee in UTSA history. @UTSAinsiders | https://t.co/unMQX4gpsq pic.twitter.com/Ct6V4Ddxvp

In the first week of the 2024 college football season, UTSA paid Kennesaw State roughly $500,000 to come loose at the Alamodome. Although UTSA eked out a 28-16 victory, Kennesaw State came within a touchdown of tying the game with 9 minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Indeed, it's been a tough start to the season for the 1-2 Roadrunners, whom analysts initially expected to be among the top teams in the American Athletic Conference.
Following the painful goring by the Longhorns — which came a week after a 49-10 loss to Texas State — UTSA Head coach Jeff Traylor told reporters the current Roadrunners team is a "work in progress."
"We still believe in what we can do," Traylor said. "As a matter of fact, we know we're going to do it. We just don't know when. But we know we're going to do it."
It sounds like Traylor has concepts of a plan.
UTSA will next take on Houston Christian University Huskies this Saturday at the Alamodome. Tickets are on sale and start at $8.
