There is no way on earth the station in little Bradford, PA pays six figures to broadcast the Bonnies games, and that's for a team with a very large fan/alumni following. I don't know where you heard what you heard, but you had better check your sources.

The radio station isn't the one paying. At this level, mostly the athletic departments pay and then try to recoup the costs with sponsors and advertising.

Some schools might also have an agreement with a Learfield, Wasserman/Octagon, Van Wagner, or similar sponsorship/media rights partner and then that partner takes a massive cut of the expenses as well as the revenue to use the school's brand, content, and events for sponsorships and advertising.

Canisius tried that in the past too, and it ended up being more profitable to manage the sponsorship sales and service in house.
