Win or lose, many SEC teams are set to reap a large payday on college football’s opening weekend.

It has long been a practice for large, Power Five schools to pay smaller, non-Power Five schools to play them. One example for this season is Georgia scheduling Appalachian State for their first game of the season.

Steve Berkowitz with USA Today reports that the Bulldogs will pay Appalachian State more than $1 million for the contest.

Appalachian State coach Scott Satterfield gets a $10,000 bonus if his squad plays a Power Five team at that team’s stadium, which the Mountaineers will do Saturday at Georgia in exchange for $1.25 million.

A different trend, however, is for schools to schedule neutral site games against a fellow Power Five opponent with a sponsor paying both schools to participate. Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, LSU, and Tennessee will all open their season with neutral site games and get paid handsomely as a result.

Here is a list of the games and payouts:

Michigan vs. Florida – $6 million per team

Florida State vs. Alabama -$5 million per team

N.C. State vs. South Carolina – $2 million per team with the potential to receive $2.5 million

BYU vs. LSU – $4 million per team

Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech – $2.85 million per team

Here is a list of what the rest of the SEC will pay to host an opponent the first weekend of the season:

Georgia Southern at Auburn – $1.3 million

Appalachian State at Georgia – $1.25 million

South Alabama at Mississippi -$800,000

Florida A&M at Arkansas -$750,000

Missouri State at Missouri – $400,000

Charleston Southern at Mississippi State – $400,000

Texas A&M at UCLA – A&M will receive $400,000

The Commodores, on the other hand, plan to make a little money Saturday by traveling to Murfreesboro:

Vanderbilt at Middle Tennessee State – Vanderbilt will receive $150,000

Kentucky will receive no payout for traveling to Southern Miss.

Despite these steep price tags, opening weekend is just the tip of the iceberg.

By the time the regular season is over, around $150 million in these so-called “guarantees” will have moved through the college sports financial system, based on schools’ recent financial data and an analysis by USA TODAY Sports of more than 200 contracts for games this season involving teams in the NCAA’s top-level Bowl Subdivision.
