The deal between Alabama and Notre Dame to play in a decade was completed April 5, according to the contract signed by the two parties.

The five-page document spells out the particulars of the games set for 2028 in South Bend and 2029 in Tuscaloosa.

They will exchange $1 million payments from the host to the visitor, according to the contract obtained through an open records request. Alabama has received as much as $6 million for non-conference games played at neutral sites in recent seasons.

Each school will get 5,000 tickets to sell for the road game. Tickets will not be required for visiting bands or cheerleaders.

The TV rights for the games will belong to the home teams. Notre Dame currently has a contract with NBC that runs through the 2025 season.

There are also a number of provisions about the cancellation of the two-game series. It may be called off if the number of conference games required change, "an act of God," war, terrorism, civil unrest or court order comes before Jan. 1, 2020. There's also a provision involving "discontinuance of the NCAA in its current form ..." or change of conference affiliation.

If one school breaks the contract for any reasons not listed, it must pay $750,000 if received two or more years before the game -- $1.5 million if its less than two years and more than one and $3 million in the final year before kickoff.

Alabama will play at Notre Dame on Sept. 2, 2028 with the return trip set for Sept. 1, 2029 in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

This is the first home-and-home on the books for Alabama since playing Penn State at home in 2010 and on the road in 2011.
