CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Winning a national title pays well at Clemson.

Head coach Dabo Swinney and the football staff earned more than $2.8 million in bonuses with the team's run to a national championship and Atlantic Coast Conference crown. The school gave a list of bonuses to The AP on Thursday.

Swinney led the way, getting $1.45 million in bonus pay for Clemson's first national championship since 1981. The Tigers defeated previously undefeated Alabama 35-31 in Tampa, Florida to take the title earlier this month.

Each of Clemson's nine on-field assistant coaches received $95,000 in extra pay for the team's 14-1 season. Strength coach Joey Batson and associate athletic director for football administration Woody McCorvey also received and extra $95,000.

In all, 16 football staffers received at least $70,000 in bonuses.

Clemson actually has an insurance policy to cover coaching bonuses when making the playoffs/winning the championship

Yea, it was a good idea. When we were runner up last year the AD had to absorb a lot of unexpected costs with extra travel and bonuses that had to be paid out. Our AD isn't the biggest either, only like 40th biggest in revenue so, and couldn't just be absorbed. It was a real concern last year and required some special fund raising. The insurance now just makes it a budget line item.

I think this is cool and good.

However, it also demonstrates that the line between insurance and gambling is so fine that it may not actually exist.

You can get insurance for just about anything if you're willing to pay for it. For a one-time thing it worked out for Clemson but good luck getting those premiums ever again.

I saw that earlier. I thought it was pretty funny how mad those old people were at some kids having relatively new cars.
