SEC主席：与ESPN的合同意味着我们对举办冠军赛“相当投入”，但季后赛扩军可能使其影响力减弱
Read, Watch or Listen
MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — SEC commissioner Greg Sankey left most answers open-ended Monday and said specifics would be worked out after three days of meetings with the league's coaches, athletic directors and presidents. He answered one question decisively, saying the SEC is bound by contracts with ESPN parent company Disney and that the conference is pretty committed to staging its championship game under a media-rights deal that runs through the 2033-34 academic year. Sankey cautioned that expansion of the College Football Playoff could make conference title games less relevant; he has described a 16-team model as his preference while Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has advocated a 24-team field. The SEC has held a title game since 1992, a signature event born of Roy Kramer’s initiative that now generates roughly $75 million to $100 million a year, so officials say any change would need alternatives that preserve competitive and financial value.

如报道所述，ESPN 的母公司迪士尼公司保留了与 SEC 冠军赛相关的合同权利，在短期内维持了现有的媒体合同和相关收入来源。
如果 CFP（大学橄榄球季后赛）扩军，SEC 和 Big Ten 的联盟冠军赛可能会面临边缘化，这可能会削弱其对顶尖球队的竞争和赛程重要性。
