The College Football Playoff announced on Tuesday that it would be expanding its travel assistance for families of players playing in the semifinals and final. The Playoff will provide a $2,500 stipend per student-athlete to help with travel, hotel accommodations and meals for families (up to 100 student-athletes per school).

"We were pleased to implement this expense-reimbursement program for the first College Football Playoff National Championship and we received warm and sincere positive feedback from the family members,” said Bill Hancock, executive director of the CFP, in a statement. “Extending support to the Playoff Semifinals will be another terrific benefit for folks who will be thrilled to be present to celebrate the accomplishments and experiences of their student-athletes.”

Glad this is happening. Its funny how generous people become when they have a chance of losing all their money.(Talk of people breaking away/suing the NCAA)

This is money well spent, imo. Most fans will have to decide between the semi-finals and the championship weekend due to the costs of travel. No way should any player's parents have to make this choice. If your kid is playing in the biggest game of his life, you need to be there.
