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
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.

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.

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.
