Chick-fil-A Kickoff, payout


Jul 12, 2012, 3:59 PM

I just interviewed Gary Stokan, the President and CEO of the Chick-fil-A Bowl and the Kickoff Classic. He told me that they are looking at payouts of $3.2 million per team, more than a lot of bowl games (he said 19, might be higher). He said that with the advent of a 9-game conference schedule, they want to make the Kickoff games even more relevant. He said it affords AD's and coaches the opportunity to add a high-profile non-conference game without making it a home-and-home series. Said that might be huge with the nine-game schedule and the new playoff system. Plan to run the interview soon....very good stuff.

No, he said the schools can keep all of the money because the Kickoff isn't a conference-affiliated contest. But I want to double-check on that before I write it

That is outstanding if true. Bowl money before all the

Sweet! I figured Swoffie and Dook, Weak Forest among others would have their hand out!

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


I'd be curious how...


Jul 12, 2012, 4:16 PM

that compares to what we normally make for a sold out home game.

Also, how that compares to what we make for the away game for a high-profile home and home series. Like how much will we make when we play at Georgia.

I guess I can see how it might make more sense for us financially to play in these kick off classic games but it's such a shame bc home and home series are so much more fun.

Thanks for your hard work. I enjoy your writing.

Reckon how much NCST/RockyTop received...


Jul 12, 2012, 4:35 PM

Thanks for the update Sir, Good work!
