ATLANTA — Pete Thamel of ESPN reports the College Football Playoff’s board of managers raised a salient question: Since nobody really runs college football, should the CFP nominate itself? Thamel’s sources told him the conversation, conducted via Zoom this week, didn’t run beyond five minutes. You’d have to think changing the world would require at least 10.
That said, it’s inevitable that the issue won’t be revisited in a full and frank manner. College football, the sport that matters most at most institutions of higher learning, has gotten to a place where even the highest of the mighty are asking, “Who’s in charge here?”
The answer: nobody. Any volunteers?
