INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Years ago, about 500 miles west of here in Kansas City, an NCAA executive committee made up of school presidents, shot down a playoff expansion proposal that sent one man angrily storming out of the room.
“I’ve got better things to do than this!” Charles Young, the UCLA president and the chairman of the 1994 NCAA committee exploring expansion, famously shouted at the presidents following the vote.
Nearly 30 years later, college football has witnessed another swing-and-miss and more angry storm-outs. College Football Playoff officials could not agree on expansion during a meeting Monday blocks away from the site of tonight’s national title game at Lucas Oil Stadium.
