"College Football Playoff and FBS Conferences Reach Agreement on ESPN Contract and Revenue Distribution"
All 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame have agreed to a new College Football Playoff contract beginning in 2026, which is expected to feature a 14-team field with guarantees for conference champions. The new revenue model will see the Big Ten and SEC both receiving 29 percent, with the ACC at 17.1 percent and the Big 12 at 14.7 percent. Notre Dame will receive 1 percent, and teams like UConn, Oregon State, and Washington State will receive less than 1 percent. The new playoff is expected to bring in four times the revenue of the current four-team playoff.
