College Football Playoff Format Proposals Have Been 'Preposterous,' Leaving Coaches T

I personally believe that the P2 will have an NFL mindset on expansion and that is the best for P2 profits. A case in point, is NFL relocation instead of expansion. The NFL owners do not want to share the 1/32nd share of television revenue with new arrivals. I believe that the London NFL franchise would be ongoing from Jacksonville if it was not for the covid delay BTW. London is a huge profit boost over Jacksonville for the NFL owners 1/32nd model. The BIG P2 players will be thinking of 1/40th shares and not 1/60th shares of television revenue. That is why I believe that the 40-team benchmark is in play.

Good points. However, TV will drive this train and each conference (the SEC and BIG) will continue to do revenue sharing how they see fit. The BIG/SEC are not going away, they will not fold into a new organization, they may elect a CFB Commissioner, but they will retain their current influence and control. If NC State is included, for example, that doesn't mean they will get the same revenue sharing as Bama. Media rights will likely still be negotiated by the conference. Obviously ND will still negotiate their own deal, I don't see them getting into a conference for football.

Some folks think the SEC/BIG will be "part of" the next segment of CFB. That is not the case, the SEC/BIG will "be" the next segment of the CFB.
