For an ordinary D-III vs. D-III non-conference game?  Zero.

The only times you find guarantees are for some tournaments, or if a D-III team is playing at a D-II or D-I program.

The following post came off the games wanted board - note financial guarantee offered for an ordinary (i.e. single game) - Just Bill, it does happen from time to time, not often, but it does happen!!  ;)

QuoteAdrian College is looking for a single game in the 2010-11 season, the possible dates are Nov. 15th, 16th, or 17th.  We would be open to a 2 year home and away agreement or one home game for which we would offer a financial guarantee.

I imagine a team that sells tickets and is able to sell a lot of them could offer some guarantee.  There's just not too many schools who make enough on tickets to give money to the opponents.

I've been to a few games and I can count on one hand the number of times I've even had to pay admission for a non-playoff game.

Or a tournament (or other similar situation) where a sponsor would be paying an amount such that a guarantee could be paid.

I could see a couple hundred bucks being given for a one-game regular-season series with no return, but not much more.
