Kevin Warren didn’t waffle when he was asked about his stance on College Football Playoff expansion at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday.
“I'm 100 percent supportive of College Football Playoff expansion,” Warren said.
While future playoff expansion has been expected since the CFP announced in June 2021 that a subgroup of the CFP’s management committee had proposed expanding the playoff to 12 teams, the process has hit some roadblocks since then. A multitude of meetings among the CFP’s governance committees have come and gone without substantive progress toward finalizing a new playoff structure, while the landscape of college sports has continued to change through conference realignment – most recently with the Big Ten poaching USC and UCLA from the Pac-12.
