Mark Bradley: Who runs college football? At the moment, nobody.

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?

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?
