New CFP official now, $1.3b per year
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...al-2031-32
The CFP has granted ESPN the right to sublicense a select number of games in both the amended two-year agreement and the new six-year extension.
"As we sit here today, no decision has been made on our side whether we'll even pursue it or not," Dawson said. "It's simply a right in the deal as of right now."
Does Jimmy Pitaro's nephew work for the CW? I'm asking for a friend.

RE: New CFP official now, $1.3b per year
Interesting quote. I agree. Beyond 14-16 and you hurt the regular season.
""...We feel really good about the value of what we're getting in exchange for the financials being paid," said Nick Dawson, ESPN senior vice president, college sports programming and acquisitions. "We firmly believe the event is going to be better, starting this fall at 12 teams, just in terms of how it's going to captivate the country...."
Dawson said the new TV deal specifically addresses 12- and 14-team models, but also includes "a mechanism to address if they expand beyond 14 teams."
"I do think at some point you start to really impact the regular season and the conference championship games," Dawson said. "I feel like they've done a great job so far of designing the 12-team model, and potentially even the 14-team model, although we'd still need to understand exactly what it looks like. ... I do worry that the larger you get beyond that, I think it becomes almost impossible to avoid some damage being done there....""

Gee I'm shocked. Yeah, the CCG aren't going no where no matter what a few folks here want to think.

The P2 have $80m reasons (each!) to ensure that the CCG sticks around.
