Following the College Football Playoff news Friday stating that there will be no Playoff expansion and that the CFP is sticking to the four-team format for the next four years, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey spoke with Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger.
Sankey said the SEC is going to “rethink” its stance on the expansion now. Sankey also reiterated how the 14 members of the SEC board have not been unanimous in their opinion on a 12-team format.
“For all the clamor about wanting to think about student athletes, there are a 1,000 students athletes each year on eight teams who could have participated in the playoff,“ Sankey said. ”On the other hand, we (the SEC), didn’t need more.”
