Washington State University president Kirk Schulz will serve as the Pac-12 representative to the College Football Playoff Board of Managers, the CFP announced on Monday.
The Pac-12 appointed Schulz to replace former USC president C.L. Max Nikias, who resigned from his position at USC in August. Not to be confused with the 13-member selection committee, which chooses the four teams in the playoff, the CFP's board of managers works behind the scenes and "has authority of all aspects" of how the playoff operates, according to the CFP web site. The group governs the playoff's business, property and affairs.
