CFP championship trophy makes stop at WSVN; trophy manager sits down to talk busy final prep days

The College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy made a stop at WSVN’s studio. At the same time, the trophy manager spoke with 7’s Mike DiPasquale about the hectic schedule ahead of the showdown between the Canes and Hoosiers.

Charley Green, the trophy manager for the College Football Playoff, brought the stunning hardware to 7News’ studio in North Bay Village on Wednesday.

On Monday night, that same trophy will be hoisted into the air by whichever team comes out victorious on the gridiron at Hard Rock Stadium.

In the meantime, Green told 7News it’s been nonstop the last few days.

“It never stops, and Miami hosting the College Football [Playoff] championship and being in the game, it still hasn’t really sunk in how crazy it is here,” said Green.

The trophy, featuring a football-shaped design, has been on a year-long tour for fans across the country to see it up close.

“We end up doing about 120 events every year, like, 30,000 miles, I don’t know how many cities. I think we went to 19 games, including the Miami versus Florida game here at Hard Rock Stadium,” said Green.
