it's significant
Here's Alabama's face value pricing for 2025 for GA tix (not including premium)
ULM (Aug. 30) $45
Wisconsin (Sept. 13) $95
Eastern Illinois (Nov. 22) $40
Vanderbilt (Oct. 4) $70
Tennessee (Oct. 18) $160
LSU (Nov. 8) $165
Oklahoma (Nov. 15) $150
Somebody can do the math but that's like at least 4x the revenue for a ND game instead of Eastern Illinois. And that's not even counting the economic impact for Tuscaloosa bringing the Irish hordes to town. Or the TV money. AND you still get to go to the playoffs and get whatever money you can get there.
