The future path of Nebraska football may rest with one decision made about the CFP
from Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers · host Locked On Podcast Network
Just one year into an expanded Big Ten and a new College Football Playoff structure, change is afoot for the sport’s postseason. The 2025 season will give us one more year with a 12-team bracket. Then it’s set to expand to 16. But how will it look? For now, the Big Ten and SEC, while working toward the same goal of college sports domination, are standing on opposite sidelines, backing different systems. Connor and Mitch look at all of the possibilities in this episode. And the question that weighs most heavily on our minds: Which proposed format best suits Nebraska? Also, there’s a new governing body for major college football. What is the College Sports Commission? Why is a former salary cap enforcer from MLB in charge of it? And what’s more effective about this organization than the largely ineffective NCAA?And in closing today, a group of women filed an appeal in response to the House Settlement ruling. They say it violates Title IX. And they are correct. So what happens next?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
