Will there be a revenue advantage to hosting a CFP game?
Narratives and conversation has circulated on the College Football Playoff expansion. Most notably games being hosted on campuses and what that would entail. Would there be a revenue spike at those respective universities hosting a game? There will be a lot of breakdowns and informational chats over the coming months to expand upon questions but at the present time, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby adressed one in particular on revenue advantages and to his confirmation, the lack thereof.
In answering Ari Temkin, Dave Archer and Gabe Ikard on SiriusXM Big 12 Radio, he addressed the notion.
“The games that are going to be played on campus, the revenue is not going to stay with the campus. It will go into the College Football Playoff coffers and so, there won’t be any local revenue from that other than perhaps parking and concessions and things like that. This is all part of the playoff structure and similarly, so will the TV be part of the playoff structure. The local revenue has been overblown in the media and I don’t believe that will be the case.”
There has been a lot of discussion about @CFBPlayoff expansion and hosting Playoff games on campus. How big is the revenue advantage to hosting a CFP game?
