FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas athletics director Jeff Long has rejoined the College Football Playoff selection committee.
Long, 65, was appointed to a 1-year term Monday, CFP executive director Rich Clark announced. Long will fill the remaining year on the term for Steve Wieberg, who stepped down from the committee for personal reasons.
“I absolutely was interested,” Long said Monday from his home in Northwest Arkansas. “I enjoyed that experience and relish the opportunity to be back in the room for that selection.”
In addition to Long, Nebraska athletics director Troy Dannen was appointed to the committee to represent the Big Ten.
