Florida will pay Idaho $975,000 to come to Gainesville for the season opener on Saturday, according to a report from Florida Today's David Jones. The Gators will spend a little less than $2.4 million in payouts for non-conference opponents this season, with Eastern Michigan set to receive an $850,000 payout and Eastern Kentucky in line for a $550,000 paycheck.

The Gators begin their season against the Vandals at 7 p.m. ET in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The game will be nationally televised on ESPNU.
