Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff calls June proposal for playoff expansion a 'mistake'

LAS VEGAS -- With negotiations regarding College Football Playoff expansion ongoing, Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff expressed some frustration with how the process has unfolded over the past several months.

"I think one of the mistakes that was made in the expansion discussions was in June," Kliavkoff said. "Before everybody needed to agree to something, we announced a proposal. I think there's been a lot of speculation and kind of bartering through the media about who's voting yes or no for which expansion model and I think that does a disservice.

"I think the right thing to do is get the right people in the room, settle on a model and then announce it as opposed to announce it and then try and get people to agree to it.
