  1. College Football Playoff, ESPN Agree to 6-Year Contract Extension amid Expansion ESPN will remain the home of the College Football Playoff through the 2031-32 season after agreeing to a six-year, $7.8 billion contract extension, ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro told Sara Fischer on Tuesday at Axios' What's Next Summit. Pitaro said in a press release: "ESPN has worked very closely with the College Football Playoff over the past decade to build one of the most prominent events in American sports. We look forward to enhancing our valued relationship over the next two years, and then continuing it for six more as we embark on this new, expanded playoff era. This agreement further solidifies ESPN as the home of college football, as well as the destination for the vast majority of major college championships for the next eight years." With the College Football Playoff expanding from four to 12 teams beginning next season, Pitaro said that ESPN also had to amend its current deal, which has two seasons remaining and runs through 2025-26. The amended agreement adds all four of the new first round games each year to ESPN's existing New Year's Six and national championship rights. ESPN's new six-year deal will begin in 2026-27 and includes the rights to all rounds of the expanded College Football Playoff, in addition to the CFP Selection Show and weekly Top 25 rankings. In both of the agreements, ESPN has the ability to sublicense a number of games to other networks. When the new agreement starts, the College Football Playoff could expand to 14 teams, ESPN's Heather Dinich and Pete Thamel reported last week. The national championship game will also move from ESPN to ABC beginning with the 2026-27 campaign. The College Football Playoff has long been one of the most popular events on the sports calendar. The 2024 national championship game between Michigan and Washington drew 25 million viewers, per Tim Baysinger of Axios. Michigan will be among the teams to watch next season alongside the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oregon and Ohio State. Ole Miss, Missouri, Notre Dame, Washington, Utah, LSU, Oklahoma and Clemson will also be teams to keep an eye on with the CFP expanding.

  7. Four Alabama assistants are reportedly set to make at least $1 million per season Four additional assistant coaches are a solid season away from joining the $1 million assistant club. https://footballscoop.com/news/four-alabama-assistants-are-set-to-make-at-least-1-million-per-season
  8. Four Alabama assistants are reportedly set to make at least $1 million per season Four additional assistant coaches are a solid season away from joining the $1 million assistant club. DOUG SAMUELS 4 HOURS AGO It sounds crazy, but by this time next year, Alabama could have eight assistant coaches in the $1 million per year assistant coach club. Gary L. Harris, the Sports Director at WVUA 23 in Tuscaloosa, shares that this season the Tide will have four assistant coaches making at least $1 million annually, with a handful of others in striking distance of that figure with raises of $100-$200k pretty customary after successful campaigns. While Kalen DeBoer will be making $10 million annually, as we shared yesterday, defensive coordinator Kane Wommack will be the highest paid assistant on staff at $1.55 million per season. Offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan, who stepped into the role following the departure of Ryan Grubb to the Seahawks, will make $1.35 million. The promotion to offensive coordinator in Tuscaloosa marks a significant raise for Sheridan. As the tight ends coach at Washington last season, he made $450k annually, and made just $300k in 2022. Assistant head coach / co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach JaMarcus Shephard will make $1.1 million annually. He made $800k at Washington. Lastly, defensive line coach Freddie Roach, a holdover from Nick Saban's staff, will make $1 million this season. The Tide will have at least four other highly compensated assistant coaches that will be a solid season away from joining the $1 million assistant club. Here's how the rest of the staff shakes out, per Harris. Maurice Linguist (Co-DC / DBS) - $875k Chris Kapilovic (OL) - $875k Robert Gillespie (RBs) - $850k Christian Robinson (OLBs) - $650k Colin Hitschler (Co-DC) - $625k Bryan Ellis (TEs) - $550k David Ballou (S&C) - $950k Jay Nunez (STC) - $250k
