Mississippi State's Dan Mullen 'honored' to join football oversight committee

Few things bore/confuse/annoy college sports fans more than the NCAA's committee structure (tournament selection groups being the exceptions). But if there's one committee fans should start tracking, it's the newly formed football oversight committee.

After talking to many around college football for an upcoming project, it's clear a lot will ride on what this committee does in the coming months and years. Chaired by Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, the group met this week in Indianapolis. Dan Mullen is wrapping up spring practice at Mississippi State and couldn't attend, but the Bulldogs coach joined via teleconference.

Mullen is the only current coach serving on the committee.
