After a historic 17–14 upset over No. 6 Texas A&M in College Station, Appalachian State didn’t just score a massive victory against a top-10 opponent. They also secured a $1.5 million payday for playing the game as A&M’s non-conference opponent.
According to USA TODAY‘s Steve Berkowitz, App State received a $1.5 million guarantee for scheduling the matchup, and Mountaineers’ coach Shawn Clark will receive a $20,000 “competitive scheduling” bonus.
Per Berkowitz, the competitive scheduling bonus for Clark gets paid out anytime that App State plays a guarantee game at the home stadium of a Power 5 opponent.
