Projected per-school media gains from a 24-team College Football Playoff
Awful Announcing estimates annual gains of $2.8 million per SEC school, versus $200,000 per Group of 6 school.
TLDR
Awful Announcing reports that ESPN and the College Football Playoff have a “handshake agreement” on a 24-team format. It estimates the expansion would bring about $155 million in new annual revenue after rebates to ESPN and Fox for canceled conference championship games. Assuming previously reported conference distribution shares hold, it projects annual gains of $2.8 million per SEC school, $2.5 million per Big Ten school, $1.5 million per ACC or Big 12 school, and $200,000 per Group of 6 school.
