ROSEMONT, Ill. — Count Michigan State’s Bill Beekman among those who think more teams are needed in the College Football Playoff.
The Spartans’ new athletic director became another Power 5 conference voice to express his belief that the field needs to grow to eight teams from the current four-team format.
“My personal opinion is that expansion is probably inevitable. And I think at some level, that’s a good thing,” Beekman said Tuesday at the Big Ten athletic directors meetings.
