College Football Playoff expansion may have backfired on one issue

For a decade, the four-team College Football Playoff was the center of a very contentious debate among fans of the sport. While many were upset that the same teams were being included, others were frustrated over the teams ranked No.

The expansion of the College Football Playoff (CFP) to a 12-team format, set to begin in the 2024 season, has introduced new challenges, particularly concerning the issue of player compensation and the transfer portal. The article discusses how the longer season and increased number of games could exacerbate existing problems with player compensation, especially in light of the NCAA's ongoing legal battles over name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. Critics argue that while the expansion aims to increase revenue and exposure, it might also lead to greater exploitation of athletes, who are not yet fully compensated for their contributions. Furthermore, the extended season could impact players' health and academic commitments, potentially leading to more transfers as players seek better opportunities or compensation elsewhere. This situation has sparked debate about the fairness and sustainability of the current college sports model, with some suggesting that the CFP expansion might have inadvertently highlighted and worsened these systemic issues.
