There might not be a new contract extension between the College Football Playoff and ESPN after all.
On Tuesday, Andrew Marchand, Nicole Auerbach, Stewart Mandel and Chris Vannini of The Athletic reported the CFP and ESPN agreed to a six-year, $7.8 billion extension that would keep the playoff games on the network through the 2031-32 campaign.
However, Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported Sunday that MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, who is one of the 11-member CFP Management Committee members, sent a memo to his league administrators saying that such reports are "incorrect" and premature.
