WVU President Gordon Gee Says College Football Playoff Expansion Is 'on Life Support'

West Virginia president Gordon Gee is no longer in favor of expanding the College Football Playoff to 12 teams.

During an interview with the West Virginia student newspaper the Daily Athenaeum (h/t Andrea Adelson of ESPN), the member of the CFP board of managers said he was once "a strong advocate for the 12-team playoff" but changed his mind because of the instability of the college football landscape.

"I am now no longer because I think with this changing environment, we want to keep it very narrow and keep it so there is a lot of opportunity to reconfigure what we’re doing in athletics," he said.
