SEC Commissioner Committed to CFP Beyond 2025: 'But We've Got a Lot to Get Right'

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey says he is committed to the College Football Playoff past the current expiration of its media deal in 2025, despite previously expressing doubts about the tournament's management.

"Yep, but we've got a lot to get right," Sankey said about staying committed to CFP, Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger reported. "The commitment is we want to see this get right."

"We have the reality of meeting to deal with CFP governance with the 2026 season and beyond. That's a highly important issue," Sankey added.

Dellenger reported on Friday that Sankey and Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti joined in creating an advisory group for college football as the CFP prepares for major shifts including a new 12-team format and changes in conference alignment.
