ads during the quarter and half time break, corporate sponsors on the uniforms, corporate sponsors CGI'd onto the midfield logo, etc.... Players don't make $10-50 million a year either. Only a few (less than 10) top a $1 million Australian per year. Avg salary is $250k-350k a year.

CFP confirms dates for debut of 12-team playoff
The inaugural first-round games of a 12-team College Football Playoff will feature one game Friday, Dec. 20, 2024, and three games Dec. 21, 2024, CFP executive director Bill Hancock said Thursday
All this and they STILL have to have the Championship game on a MONDAY ... UGH
They're mid-week due to New Years being on a Wed that year and the committee wanting to have those bowl games on their traditional date of Jan 1.
The Mouse is a problem when it comes to the driving of broadcasting costs up... but the college football cartels have a large footprint in this nonsense as well. Division I College Football has one and only one purpose... revenue.
Yeah that sucks. I get that the NFL playoffs kill it being on Sat & Sun (no one would watch unless their team was in it), but they could have done it on Friday.
Here's an idea, move the Championship game out to the week before the Super Bowl when there are no games.
Am curious what days they'll be doing the semi-finals, didn't see that in the article.
It was buried down in the article:
For the 2024 and 2025 seasons, the four quarterfinal games and two playoff semifinal games will be played in bowls on a rotating basis. The 2024 quarterfinals will take place in the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, while the Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl will host the semifinals. The 2025 quarterfinals will take place in the Cotton, Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls, while the Fiesta and Peach Bowls will host the semifinals.
Yes, I saw WHERE they would be played, I just couldn't find WHEN the semi-finals would be played.

You do realize those are for the old system and are no longer valid.
My post was in reference to the article for the new system.

So my curiosity is to when the new semi-finals would be, as the quarter-finals will be New Years Eve/Day, and the Championship game 3 Mondays after. So am curious as to when the Semi's will be (likely around the weekend of Jan 11/12) and mostly what day of the week as the NFL playoffs will be in full swing so Sat & Sun are full up that weekend.
Yep, just noticed that. Found this:
The 2024 CFP quarterfinals will take place on New Year’s Eve and/or New Year’s Day with no NFL conflicts. The semifinals would be played midweek in the second week of January to avoid potential conflicts with the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend on Saturday and Sunday.

midweek? Yuck.
At least the quarter's are during holidays, so no issues with traveling and watching. But mid week in January is just awful.

I really didn't mind the mid week games when it was for New Years Day ...
However, to try it with a playoff schedule seems like a Bad idea seeing some will have longer to prepare than others, that give a competative advantage to those Not playing Mid week.
Only problem with That, is the Super Bowl Changed every so often when ever it suits them ... they have pushed the SB all the way out to Feb already ...
It would be different if it was a Set date or 3rd Sunday of every Jan (as an example).
