College athletics, as a whole, are not known for speedy and efficient decision making at the highest levels.
So perhaps it is no surprise the future of the College Football Playoff—for both the 2025 season and beyond—remains in a bit of a holding pattern following three days of meetings last week for conference commissioners, television executives, bowl representatives and several others. There’s been lots of talk, to be sure, but few tangible measures of progress. In the end, the fourth in-person meeting in the first four months of the new year for the CFP’s governance structure ended much the same way the three others did prior: punting meaningful decisions on the postseason until next time.
