Playoff executive director Bill Hancock joins The Football Four Podcast

Bill Hancock has lived a life in sports that is unlike any person on the planet. A teen-aged sports columnist. Director of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. A staffer at nearly a dozen Olympic Games. And most recently the executive director of the Bowl Championship Series and now the College Football Playoff.

Hancock joins USA TODAY Sports college football reporter George Schroeder on this special episode of The Football Four Podcast to talk about a variety of topics, including:

— Why college football's championship event went from two teams to four but not to eight.

— His favorite sports moment

— How he and his Playoff management colleagues are out to change New Year's Eve entertainment in the United States.
