At the end of my colleague Ross Dellenger’s story setting up the College Football Playoff Management Committee meeting on Wednesday, an anonymous official involved in the proceedings said, “If this all falls apart, we’re going to get hammered publicly.” After they punted for the time being on expansion, I’m reaching into my toolbox to commence the bashing.
The warring crime families that are the FBS conferences must stop the bickering, stop the backstabbing, stop the posturing, stop the kowtowing to the bowls, stop the every-league-for-itself greed, stop the shortsightedness, stop the obfuscation and overcomplication. On the cusp of an improved playoff, they backed away.
