More like "no news". Everything continues to come from CONCACAF and Traffic Sports. Nothing coming out of CONMEBOL or Grupo Full Play to indicate that they are on board.
I guess I missed my posts from when the vice president of Conmebol was on the Jorge Ramos show and said it was almost a done deal.
$608 million a year for 7 college football games. It is $180 million in the current system. http://sportsbusinessnews.com/content/big-east-rest-group-five-score-win-six-bowl-decision + EPL gets $250 million for 3 years in the USA. if CONMEBOL and CONCACAF work together, they will share the increased revenue. Fans get to watch a better tournament. CONMEBOL and CONCACAF get more revenue. Win win for everyone.
The current system isn't terribly relevant. They already had extensions signed for the Rose ($80M), Sugar ($80M) and Orange ($50M). That's $215M for three games, which weren't always locked into being the semis of the playoffs. None of it went toward the Championship. So another $400M for the Championship + 3 more bowls + total control of the Semis... that sounds about right.
