Bill Hancock, who has been the College Football Playoff's lone executive director since the role's inception in 2012, will step down from his position when his contract expires on February 1, 2025.
"My time at the CFP has been a dream come true," the 72-year-old Hancock said in an official statement. "I cherish what I do and the folks I get to work with. And I do love college football. Now I will run through the tape, as the track coaches say, and then I will enjoy whatever next steps are waiting for Nicki and me.
