00:00 So there is a ton of chaos that is surrounding college football and the NCAA and all of that stuff right now and
00:07 Yesterday it came out that today
00:11 They were likely going to expand the playoff to 14 teams starting in
00:16 2026 and they are set up with different pay modes as well
00:21 The article came from ESPN a 14 team playoff is expected to be formalized in the next 24 hours
00:28 That article was yesterday
00:30 About lunchtime today. They're expecting that to happen
00:34 It says the college football playoff is on the brink of moving to one important step closer to an expected 14 team playoff
00:43 That would begin in 2026 as 10 FPS conferences and Notre Dame
00:48 Which I can't is still ridiculous that Notre Dame gets to sit at the table alone. They're pushing to meet Friday
00:55 Media Friday deadline to agree to the next contract and inform the college football playoff that they will participate in the playoff in
01:02 2026 and beyond
01:04 Multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday that each league and Notre Dame are expected to sign a legal agreement
01:11 by midday Friday Friday
01:13 Starting in 2026 the new agreement will codify
01:17 The further financial separation of the expanded Big Ten and SEC from everyone else in college athletics
01:23 We'll get to that in a second and the group of five commissioners have been in a difficult position without any negotiating power
01:30 But sources indicate they won't be excluded from the college football playoff
01:35 This is where it gets important the financial distribution of the expected 14 team playoff will look radically different
01:42 Than its playoff predecessors on an annual basis. For example, the Big Ten and SEC will be making more than a
01:50 21 million dollars per school a number that's up from nearly 5.5 million dollars
01:56 Previously in the ACC they will get more than 13 million annually
02:01 the big 12 will get more than 12 annually and Notre Dame is expected to get more than 12 million as well and
02:07 Sources tell ESPN there will be a financial incentive for any independent that reaches the CFP
02:14 There will no longer be a participation bonus for any other leagues a detail that was frustrating to some leaders of the group of five
02:21 so
02:23 We have this news right here. And this is a big piece setting up what the college football playoff will become in
02:31 2026 and beyond and how the major conferences the big two the power to as we
02:37 Honestly should start referring to them now in the SEC in the Big Ten
02:41 They're going to separate from what is the ACC and what is the big 12?
02:46 That makes about half as much money just for being in the playoff as the big ten of the SEC
