Report: Alabama will make $6 million for neutral-site opener against USC in 2020
Published:
It appears the speculation regarding a rematch of the 2016 season opener between Alabama and USC was accurate, as a contract for the game has been acquired by Kevin Kelley of FBSchedules.com.
After reviewing the contract, FBSchedules is reporting that Alabama will make $6 million to open the 2020 season in Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, which is home of the Dallas Cowboys. The Crimson Tide won the 2016 season opener over the Trojans in a 52-6 laugher.
Alabama also holds the all-time edge in the series against USC with a 6-2 overall record in eight contests.
News of the 2020 game was first reported in March by Jim Dunaway of WJOX radio in Birmingham.
