The Beat: Evaluating why Ohio State isn’t opposing playoff expansion at Big Ten meetings

from Austin & Birm

Television’s Adam King didn’t get an invitation to the Big Ten meetings, and neither did The Beat’s Austin Ward despite both covering Ohio State extensively all year long. They aren’t mad, but they did have plenty of questions for Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti, Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork and Buckeyes coach Ryan Day that probably won’t be answered for a while. That starts with the possibility of College Football Playoff expansion, which doesn’t seem like it would be ideal for Ohio State or the health of the sport.
