About how they will make money by playing at Aloha Stadium, University of Central Arkansas Athletic Director Brad Teague said:
“Not only is Hawaii paying all expenses of travel, ground transportation, lodging, and meals, but they will send us home with $125,000 guarantee. Additionally, the NCAA allows any program to play an extra game who plays Hawaii in the same year as incentive to get schools to travel to the islands. We are using this opportunity to play an additional home game so we are able to garner further revenues through ticket sales. This extra revenue will help our institution and program greatly."

Note: "The Bears are not eligible for postseason play until 2010 while transitioning from NCAA Division II to Division I."
