The College Football Playoff’s board of managers met on Tuesday in Dallas to explore more into the expansion of the playoff.
The CFP board authorized the management committee to begin a summer review phase that will engage other important voices about expanding the playoff from four teams to 12. This will include many people on campuses, such as student-athletes, athletics directors, faculty athletics representatives, coaches, and university presidents and chancellors.
The board will reconvene in September to discuss what they learned in this phase of the expansion process.
“The College Football Playoff (CFP) board of managers today heard a presentation from a working group appointed to look into the possibility of expanding the College Football Playoff,” said Mark Keenum, who is the President at Mississippi State University and serves as the Chairman of the CFP Board of Managers.
