Highest Payouts for College Football’s Week 1 Guarantee Games Include Checks for $1.7 Million, $1.4 Million

How much is a butt-whooping worth? For Oregon State, it's $1.7 million. Ohio State is paying the Beavers $1.7 million to make the 2,000-mile trip to Columbus for a Week 1 non-conference game. Its the highest payout of any non-neutral-site guarantee college football game in Week 1, according to USA Today.

Several other FBS programs will earn more than $1.7 million for Week 1 games, though all of those are neutral-site games that come with a guarantee for both teams. For example, Washington and Auburn are guaranteed $4.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for playing at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday.

Thirteen teams are making at least $1 million for road guarantee games this weekend, including Old Dominion, whom Liberty is paying a staggering $1.32 million to make a three-hour bus ride from Norfolk, Va., to Lynchburg, Va., for the Flames' first-ever game as an FBS team. The $1.32 million is by far the most any Group of Five team has ever paid for a road team.
