[QUOTE="wma500, post: 2014940, member: 591991"] It's challenging to find apples to apples comparisons, but a few things to add: To clarify, the original CFP-specific TV deal signed in 2012 was for 12 years, $5.64 billion, and for *FOUR* games each year (the two semi final games, plus the championship game, plus one other bowl game to be in the rotation of the semis). When this contract was coupled with the already existing at the time contracts for the Rose, Sugar and Orange, the average annual cost for the rights of *SEVEN* games was $685 million, or $97 million/game. In today's announcement, the new six year deal starts with the 2026 season, and pays out an average of $1.3 billion/year, or $118 million for each of the 11 playoff games. [/QUOTE]
