The University of Alabama and Clemson University are each expected to receive a payout of just less than $2 million for their season-opening game, according to contracts obtained Wednesday by The Birmingham News.

When the teams play Aug. 30 in Atlanta's Georgia Dome and on ABC Sports, they will split $3,832,060, the anticipated profits for the game. That equals roughly $1.9 million per team.
According to the contracts - obtained using a public records request - beer will also be available at the concessions stands. Sales will be cut off at halftime.
