Alex Donno Breaks Down CFP Expansion Battle

from The Joe Rose Show

Alex Donno breaks down the growing chaos surrounding college football and the future of the College Football Playoff. The guys discuss the ongoing debate over expanding the playoff to 24 teams, with the Big Ten reportedly pushing for expansion largely because FOX wants a bigger share of playoff television rights, while the SEC prefers a smaller format to protect the value of the SEC Championship Game and keep ESPN heavily involved. The conversation centers around how money continues to drive nearly every major decision in college athletics, even if it risks watering down the product on the field. They also question whether conferences even make sense anymore amid nonstop realignment, pointing to how bizarre it is that Miami now shares a conference with schools like Cal and Stanford despite being on opposite sides of the country
