Or even play in a neutral site away from a SEC state



USC from 2016 says hello?

his is incorrect, not sure where you guys are getting this from. Guessing the MSU cancellation info.


My assumption is that most would look at it over a 2 year period where you are looking at 1 year. I have no idea if your numbers from the previous post are correct but assuming they are:

H-H
Year 1 = $10M
Year 2 (return trip) = $0

NS
Year 1 = $6.5M
Year 2 = $6.5M

$3M more in the NS over H-H.

What is the percentage of the split at these neutral site games
You're assuming as well that the stadium itself doesn't get their hands into the money

So out of let's say 13 million again how much goes to the stadium

Why do you care? Open up with a top 3 opponent in Atlanta. What we have been doing works for us so why fix something that isn't broke. Where is your team opening up this year?

There are guaranteed payouts to each team.

Alabama received $6.5 million against USC last year.

Not sure as those were not my numbers. I would assume that is Alabama's cut from the total. Those NS games are generating way more than $6.5M.

My university attempted to play Bama in a home and home but Bama said no
They didn't even want to play us in Arlington


You can't really blame us. Saban doesn't like baseball, and if we ever did play the Astros, we'd make them play us in Hoover so we could get all the calls just like we do in the SEC tournament.

T-town News article

quote:

But there's an economic reality element that is too hard to ignore. Consider this: Alabama will reportedly make a combined $15.5 million for its three neutral-site games from 2015-17 (Wisconsin $4 million, Southern Cal $6.5, Florida State $5 million).

If Alabama went with a home-and-home series instead, it would profit at most about $4 million for the one home game, and then, when it went on the road to fulfill the contractual obligation, it would make nothing.




According to the linked article, It's not even close.

Looking at the 2 year average for each game:

Wisc H-H: $4M + $0 = $2M/year
Wisc NS: $4m/year

USC H-H: $4M + $0 = $2M/year
USC NS: $6.5M/year

FSU H-H: $4M + $0 = $2M/year
FSU NS: $5M/year

$6M average for H-H games over 3 years versus $15.5M for NS.

I'm not sure it matters all that much. I know some years ago they opened the season against UCLA in Pasadena and won big.

It would be interesting though to see how Bama would do at Columbus in a night game there against O State or in a late afternoon game against a USC .....but only if it was a stacked USC team

BS. What SOS rankings have you been lookin' at? Sagarin, Billingsley, FEI, ESPN, Massey, Anderson, and Congrove would all disagree with you...

Using your time frame Alabama has won 5 national titles.

Ohio State has won two.

GTFO.
