Yahoo! Sports reported that top leaders from the Southeastern and Big Ten conferences are meeting today in Chicago to discuss matters ranging from the House settlement case and future College Football Playoffs, which was recently increased to a 12-seed field this year.
From Yahoo! Sports: “From the outside, the scheduled meeting is perhaps more symbolic in nature than anything else — two groups, for years warring with one another, now gathering in person to tackle some of the most pressing issues within the industry. On the inside, the one-day session may produce steps forward on several key issues from a joint group of leaders who hold more authority than perhaps any other, as power shifts from the NCAA’s age-old national governance model to its more prominent conferences.
