Miami University's AD quoted in this article on how much the MAC teams are getting for OOC games. I think this will go up even further now that everybody is cutting out FCS games. G5 will be only teams for them to schedule going forward.

"We go out to 2020, we're getting $1.5 million from somebody," Sayler said. "There's going to be growth built in each year. The numbers keep going up. Sayler, in fact, won't even field calls to schedule a football game at a major conference program these days unless the payout starts at seven figures.

What is left when excluding power-five conference teams and the FCS are 63 opponents from the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference...

"Sometimes you don'€™t have much choice," Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said. "There are only so many teams available, and it's very hard to find someone that's willing to come on an open date that matches yours. Many times, your back is to the wall and your selection is very small when you're scheduling these games."

"Everybody is running into that," said Alvarez, who is one of 13 members on the College Football Playoff selection committee. "They realize that we're trying to strengthen our schedule. We would prefer to have Division I schools and some BCS schools. Strength of schedule is going to come into play in the ratings system. So everybody is going after the same people. They understand the game also.
