According to the report, however, that agreement is still on hold until certain problems with the CFP are resolved.”The full contract can’t be finished until CFP leaders agree on the details of the expanded format,” Marchand said.

“This is because the Pac-12 fell apart.” “The management committee and board of managers of the CFP are meeting next week and are still working through the difficult process of resolving their outstanding issues.” “The ESPN deal won’t go through until the commissioners and presidents vote on how the expanded CFP will work and how much it will cost.” College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock and ESPN senior vice president of communication Josh Krulewitz both refused to say anything.

They are still looking for their first CFP bid. Next season, the playoff will have 12 teams instead of 10.JAN 17 DO NOLEN WARN?
