The Notre Dame Fighting Irish play the Ohio State Buckeyes on Monday for a chance to win their first college football national championship since 1988. Win or lose tonight, Notre Dame is already the financial winner of the first 12-team College Football Playoff. The Irish have earned $20 million for their three bracket wins, far more than any other team in the field. The program received $4 million for qualifying for the CFP, $4 million for advancing to the quarterfinals, $6 million for making the semifinals and $6 million for reaching the national championship game (no additional payout will be given to Monday’s winner). Additionally, the team has received $3 million in each round to cover expenses. Typically, these payouts for CFP success go to the conferences rather than the individual universities, but because Notre Dame’s football team does not belong to a conference, it gets to keep 100% of that revenue.
