The deal would give ESPN control over nearly all Division I college sports championships, outside of the men’s basketball tournament, which is televised by CBS, TNT and their sister networks and platforms through 2032. In early January, ESPN and the NCAA announced a new eight-year, $920 million contract that gives the network the rights to 40 championships, including the women’s basketball tournament. That extension begins in September. The CFP’s current contract with ESPN is set to run through the 2025-26 season, and any major changes to its terms require unanimous support.<- [/QUOTE]
