Agreed…….. Conference Commissioners should not be running College Football, they should be running their conferences. The pitfall of having the Commissioners managing College Football is that it creates a Conflict of Interest, as we’re currently are experiencing. To paraphrase what we call it here in the hills and hollers, ‘You don’t hire the Fox to guard the henhouse’
Instead, College Football should be managed by a higher level of management.
My suggestion to the BIG Commissioner about ‘flexible scheduling’ was provide a way to determine which of his conference’s teams are indeed ‘The Best’.
The problem he’s dealing with is his position on multiple ‘guaranteed’ spots in the CFP, he does not trust the CFP Selection Committee……. even though Ohio State, after having “the toughest row to hoe” (another saying in these here hills and hollers) won a National Title a couple of years ago as a 2 loss regular season team.
