NBC pursuing slice of 12-team College Football Playoff, per report

NBC is interested in broadcasting part of the 12-team College Football Playoff, according to a report from Front Office Sports.

The media rights for the College Football Playoff run through the 2025 season. ESPN currently has exclusive rights.

NBC has long broadcasted Notre Dame but re-vitalized its broader college football coverage with a recent new deal with the Big Ten.

The College Football Playoff management committee listened to five network presentations last week during its meetings at Big Ten headquarters in Rosemont, Ill., College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said. Four or five other networks are interested as well.

“Streaming adds another element,” Hancock said. “We are not averse to streaming some of the games. I wouldn’t expect us to stream all of them, but right now nothing’s off the table.”
