VP Mike Pence meets with CFP Management Committee

The Vice President of the United State turned his attention to College football during a 30-minute call with the College Football Playoff Management Committee and the news wasn’t exactly what college football fans wanted to hear on Wednesday afternoon.

The committee’s general consensus to Vice President Mike Pence was that there will be no college football until students are back on campus.

“Our players are students. If we’re not in college, we’re not having contests,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told reporters on a conference call. “Our message was, we need to get universities and colleges back open, that we were education-based programs, and we weren’t going to have sports until we had something closer to normal college going on,”

The committee is made up of the commissioners of the 10 conferences and Notre Dame’s Athletic Director.
