Last week's thriller against Ohio State game went to overtime, but the season-high home crowd in College Park also included plenty of Buckeyes fans.

So, just how much would it take for you to show up and stick around for the second half of home football games against Illinois and Rutgers if you were a Maryland student?

Thanks to anonymous donor, the Big Ten school took a shot at finding that price point this season.

The effort was met with middling success.

Students were offered the chance at a $5,000 scholarship if they still were present in the fourth quarter. And if the prize went unclaimed, it would roll over once. To be eligible, the student had to have entered the game prior to kickoff and remained until the drawing.

Another donor stepped up and offered a $1,000 drawing in the third quarter.

But according to USA Today, the $5,000 fourth-quarter incentive went unclaimed at half the six home games, while the $1,000 prize went unclaimed twice.

Maryland didn't top 39,000 in paid attendance in any home game in 2018, and ranked third-worst in the Big Ten in 2017.
