Is College Football Playoff Expansion About Money Not Championships

College football is heading toward another major shift—but is playoff expansion really about crowning a champion, or just chasing TV dollars?

In this conversation on 365 Sports, national college football insider David Ubben breaks down the growing debate around expanding the College Football Playoff from 12 teams to 16—or even 24. From Big Ten vs SEC politics to the hidden battle between TV giants, this discussion pulls back the curtain on what’s really driving change in the sport.

Ubben dives into why fans may not actually want expansion, how it could dilute the regular season, and what coaches really think behind the scenes. Plus, the conversation explores transfer portal chaos, eligibility reform, spring football changes, and the evolving structure of the Big 12.
