The College Football Playoff felt the financial pinch of the COVID pandemic, according to a report in the Sports Business Journal.


A week after a new CFP proposal would expand the field to 12, revenue distribution from the College Football Playoff was down $44.6 million hit in 2020-21, a 9.2 percent downturn from record revenue the year before, per the report.


Ticket sales due to capacity restraints, lack of hospitality and merchandise were all factors for the dip in revenue.

Travel restrictions, seating limits, and food and beverage cutbacks all hurt revenue.
