You can guarantee that these next 12 months will be filled with hard work and dedication from the Houston Host Committee and all of our partners in our entire community," Houston 2024 Host Committee President Chris Massey said at the news conference. "This event is the pinnacle of college football, but also serves as an amazing vehicle to uplift and support our region. Houston prides itself on its philanthropic spirit, and along with the collaboration we look forward to sharing with our College Football Playoff Foundation counterparts, I'm eager and excited as we develop a lasting legacy in education."
