HOUSTON, Texas -- The College Football Playoff and ESPN are in the midst of negotiations to maintain the network as the sole rights holder of the event for the next eight years, sources told ESPN on Monday.
The new eight-year deal would include the final two years on the current CFP contract and a new six-year deal for the next iteration of the playoff, sources told ESPN.
If ESPN remains the sole rights holder, it would be a significant change from what the 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick had originally wanted, as all had been in agreement that multiple broadcast partners -- a model similar to what the NFL has -- would be best for college football.
