Didn't see it posted here yet.
Bama gets a guaranteed minimum of $6 million. Could be more, as we are guaranteed the $1 million more than the opponent with a $6 million minimum.

Always nice to play another blueblood like USC.

What's it take to play a game on the west coast?

P5 teams rarely travel across three or four time zones for a regular season game.
We were already committed to this. The Cowboys organization paid us handsomely to hold this date open for their game, in addition to paying a shitload to play in it.
So, I'd say someone offering us a shitload of money is what it takes.
And why the west coast? I'd much rather play in Ann Arbor, Austin, or Norman than Seattle, Los Angeles, or Berkley to watch football. This isn't a vacation. If I'm going for a football game, I want to go someplace where the people actually care about it.

If much rather watch a football game on the edge of the lake in Seattle (or have a "neutral" site game at CenturyLink), than in fricking Oklahoma.

Wish they would do one in Houston but Dallas will work. #BPMatters

We're getting paid 6 Million to play this game.

That is why Bama has played in these games for so long, money.
Bama will lose a few million dollars by playing at Texas in 2022. The return game won't make up for it.

The Seahawks don't host a neutral site game.

This makes you sound like some kind of elitist a-hole.
Seattle is fine to visit. Football is football, though, and if you don't think Norman is a great football town, you're pretty goddamn far out of the loop. Seattle is a great place to watch a Seahawks game. Not UW.
If you think scenery is the reason for watching athletics, go to a fricking SF Giants evening game. Sit in the in the deck and watch light from the sun set on the bay. You can thank me later.

I think it definitely adds to it.

You seen Washington's stadium? Looks like a great place to watch a game. Beautiful campus, ton of stuff to do in the area. Would surely be a great atmosphere if a top team comes to town, especially if they continue to have a decent team.
And you wouldn't have to hear Boomer Sooner 2 billion times in 4 hours.

Washington actually looks like they have a really good atmosphere for games now. Oregon and Utah have good atmospheres but small stadiums.

And the weather in early September is amazing.

Revenge on Utah would be nice. Though 2018 would have been the year to do it, 10 years and all.
