West Virginia's football team has pulled out of a matchup with Florida State next season - at a hefty price.

Florida State officials confirmed that the Mountaineers backed out of the game and will pay the Seminoles $350,000 for the late exit.

The schedule was made up before West Virginia made the decision to bolt the Big East Conference for the Big 12.

Because of the additional conference games in the Big 12, the Mountaineers cannot fit Florida State into their schedule.

The game was scheduled for Sept. 8 at Florida State as part of a home-and-home series the next two seasons.
