The College Football Playoff has agreed to a six-year, $1.3B per year extension with ESPN that will run through 2031-32, per The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, Nicole Auerbach, Stewart Mandel and Chris Vannini. Up from the $608M per year deal under the four-team playoff, the quartet note: "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. [...] Over the course of the contract, ESPN will have the ability to sublicense games, meaning another network or digital player could air Playoff games, but it would be at Disney-owned ESPN’s discretion."
