The guarantee is a payment. This is designed to entice the visiting team to enter into the agreement to play the games. The guarantee is typically larger if playing P5 or nationally strong/well funded programs. The payment may be just enough to cover travel and lodging expenses or could be more to add to the program budget for the season.

A local FCS football team was paid $475K to travel to FSU a couple of years ago. 77-6. (They lost.) Those guarantee games are huge part of the budget for some football teams. Weird system.
