Key Industry News
The College Football Playoff is officially expanding to 24 teams starting next season, as the CFP and ESPN have finalized a five-year, nearly $1.7B media deal, per ESPN’s Heather Dinich. From the CFP: “The decision to expand was driven by a desire to increase opportunities for FBS programs, student-athletes and fan bases to participate in the Playoff and have a chance to play for the CFP National Championship, while new scheduling standards incentivize institutions to schedule more compelling non-conference matchups during the regular season. The expanded format will feature 16 on-campus Playoff games, which will bring Playoff football to more students and local fans while providing a positive impact for campus communities.” (link); More key expansion details.
