The College Football Playoff (CFP) has strongly supported the positions of major conferences regarding the return of athletes with NFL ties to college football, according to a statement from the CFP. This stance aligns with recent declarations from the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12, which have each expressed the opinion that NFL players should not be eligible to return to the college ranks.

Leaders of the CFP made their opposition to NFL players returning to college explicit in a statement issued on Friday, reflecting a growing consensus among collegiate football authorities on this issue.
