Although Joel Klatt was one of the main votes in college football in the regular season, he found out for the first 12 team college football playoff.
This is due to the fact that the off -season tournament of the sport belongs exclusively to ESPN, which even produced the games it had rented to Warner Bros. Discovery.
The global guide currently remains the exclusive right switch of the CFP during the rest of the 2031-32 season, which means that FOX will search outwards and for the foreseeable future. But if there was a way for his employer to get a piece of the CFP, Klatt would not surprisingly love it.
“I would like to become a partner,” said Colorado's former quarterback to Barrett Media from Derek Futterman. “I would love it if Fox had some of these playoff games. I would do anything to play one of these playoff games, and I think that the playoff was really good for sport, incredible for sport. Think of all teams who had access to this top end of sport that would otherwise have no access. They look at Indiana and Arizona State and Boise State, and these teams had to have a playoff run and their time in the sun. “
While Fox could be in the immediate vicinity that ESPN IT games rents, a lot can change in the next seven years -especially in college football. Above all, the contract for the current college football playoff format will take place after the coming season 2025-26, with all the signs that another expansion round is a great option.
Even if the playoff would only expand by two games, this would give ESPN more inventory for sale, especially in the earlier rounds. And if you consider that FOX like WBD was also a partner of ESPN with the Venu sports project that has been born since then, a similar business between the two sides could be useful.
Factor in this FOX has one of the strongest allies in the current climate of College Beaillance athletics in the form of the big ten, and the idea that the network finally organizes a college playoff game is hardly fetched. If nothing else, we know that Joel Klatt would offer fans a more positive experience than those that ESPN offered last season.
