CFP, ESPN Extend Talks on 24-Team Playoff Rights

The College Football Playoff said Saturday that media rights talks with ESPN continue past an exclusive 30-day negotiating window, as the CFP weighs doubling the playoff field from 12 to 24 teams. ESPN's new six-season deal, worth $7.8 billion, gives it first option on the first two games of any expansion. A Dec. 1 deadline looms for changes next season.
