Topic: Playoff composition, revenue sharing, NCAA influence up for grabs as cfp shifts

[Big City]

Currently, each league earns $80 million despite the size of its membership. As such, the 10-team Pac-12 is presently awarded more per school ($8 million) than the SEC or Big Ten (14-team leagues, $5.7 million per team). You can now see why the Big Ten expanding to 20 or the SEC expanding past 16 might be tempting.

Expect distribution adjustments at least along membership lines, if not conference prominence lines. Another conversation topic is awarding extra shares based on CFP qualification or success.

Early estimates have put the value of the new CFP deal upwards of $2 billion annually. That would be 2.7 times more revenue that what is currently produced per season ($720 million).

It would also be, by far, the biggest media rights deal in college sports history.

"I expect it to be a very robust negotiation," Big Ten commissioner Tony Pettiti told CBS Sports.
