As it turns out, that agreement also included sharing some College Football Playoff monies not normally shared between Notre Dame and the ACC. Notre Dame enjoys a unique position in the College Football Playoff. The Fighting Irish will not share in the ACC’s $66 million base payment, nor will they share their $3.19 million base payment. College Football Playoff Payouts for 2020-21Alabama and Ohio State will also each earn $6 million for their respective conferences for their semifinal berths. The Orange Bowl is a “contract bowl” and will payout according to its contract between the SEC and ACC outside of the College Football Playoff structure since it is not hosting a semifinal this year.
