Conference championship games MUST GO
- Thread starter Delcolion915
- Start date
I’m sure the big ten conference will be more than happy to restructure the $7 Billion deal they got for television rights to broadcast those games until 2029. If I know anything about TV execs (who ARE running college football) they are always willing to leave money on the table for the good of the sport.
They aren’t going anywhere.

They'll be eliminated. The teams don't want to play them and an expanded playoff easily makes up for those CCGs
This. Why would conferences give up a huge revenue source and promotional event that they fully control? What are they getting return that benefits them the individual conferences?
That’s the Big Ten media rights for all games including the Big Ten Championship games.
And they can make up the value of the CCG in other ways...like adding another conference game to the schedule
Who currently owns the playoff rights? Who owns the ccg rights?
The expanded 12 team Playoff changes a bunch of things - including how important a conference championship is going forward. The present goal - just get into the Playoffs and from there anything can happen
Example: OSU finished 4th in the Big Ten and absolutely killed Big Ten champ Oregon in the Playoffs

ESPN but if it goes to 16+ that opens things up....there's no change at 14. I don't recall who did the game...NBC I think but add more conference games instead of Nova and they'll be thrilled.
The ACC thinking about doing ridiculous things--imagine a CCG without the top team to protect them lol
"Phillips said the ACC could consider giving its regular-season champion a bye, and have the teams that finish second or third in the league standings play in the ACC championship game."

Alex, I'll take how to make CCGs even more ridiculous than they already are for $600 please...
OK, that makes sense. I thought you were saying the championship games alone were worth $7 billion!
How? What's the benefit there? How is a championship game not for a championship and then they still may be in the playoff. It's illogical
This is what they should do to satisfy the TV execs.
-Eliminate the CCG....BUT create a must watch B10 vs SEC challenge week in September. You don't have 18 SEC teams so maybe you grab two additional teams to even it out. ND could be one and not sure of another. Or two B10 teams sit it out and those could be the #17 and #18 teams from the previous year.
