ESPN AND CFP COMMITTEE AGREE TO EXPANDED PLAYOFF MEDIA RIGHTS DEAL

Advertisement
“Over the final two years of its current agreement, ESPN holds the rights to the new set of first-round games held at on-campus site, in addition to the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship games,” “It is not yet known what the fee of the first-round games will be for the next two seasons. The quarterfinals will be played at current New Year’s Six bowls, whose rights were already owned by ESPN.”

The network will host the 12-team playoff through the 2031-32 season, according to the report. The full contract still has yet to be completed though.

“The full contract’s completion is still contingent on CFP leaders finalizing details of the expanded format in the wake of the implosion of the Pac-12,”. “The CFP’s management committee and board of managers have meetings scheduled for next week and continue to work through the complicated process of settling their outstanding issues.

“The ESPN deal will not be ratified until the commissioners and presidents vote on the structure and financials of the expanded CFP. ESPN senior vice president of communication Josh Krulewitz and College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock both declined comment.”

Exactly. They need to poach some execs from the NFL offices to show them the way. Use TV as a tool, not let the networks take over the stewardship of the sport. Know the product, what makes it special in the eyes of the fanbase, and make sure you don't stray too far from the basics of what makes college football the 2nd favorite sport in this country. Look at what's best for the sport over the next 20-25 years, not just the next TV contract.

By the way, don't be surprised to see a players' strike at some point over the next 10-15 years.

The deal is worth 7.8Billion. The players who participate in the 12 team deserve a piece of that. Even outside of their regular NIL deals.

7.8B over 7 years is an insane amount of money.

I agree but to protect player from themselves, I’d have it as an incentive for graduating. If you graduate, every scholarship player on the team receives a check of $75K for each year their team makes the playoffs (maxes out at $300K), regardless of how deep the team advances.

That’s a tiny slice of the pie over a 4yr span and that’s only if your team makes the playoffs all 4 years - if every player graduated and 75 kids on scholly, it’d be around $22.5mil. That’s a drop in the bucket and it would be an absolute game changing start to life for all the young people involved who don’t go to the NFL. They could purchase their first starter home or make a significant down payment on one. Would boost the economy as well.

Problem is, the players from schools not making the playoffs would scream bloody murder at the top of their collective lungs.
