Ohio State president Kristina Johnson has joined the College Football Playoff Board of Managers.
Johnson replaces Penn State president Eric Barron, who is retiring this year, as the Big Ten’s representative on the Board of Managers, which consists of presidents and chancellors from each of the 10 Football Bowl Subdivision conferences as well as Notre Dame.
“As someone who was afforded significant academic opportunities as a result of my participation in sports, I have long recognized the importance of collegiate athletics and championed access to them for every student who desires it,” Johnson said in an Ohio State release.
