Greg Sankey Raises Concerns About Proposed 24-Team Playoff

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has some concerns about the possibility of expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams.

While discussing the idea, Sankey pointed to several issues that would need to be worked through, including the financial side of expansion, the strain of playing additional games in December, and what it could mean for conference championship games.

Sankey also believes the current playoff selection process is already affecting how teams approach their non-conference scheduling Per Brett McMurphy:

"Our concerns relate to how you manage the economics. Is there value? I don’t think people understand the difficulty of going week to week to week to week in December. … We’ve looked at it & said CFP selection decisions are negatively impacting regular-season scheduling, particularly big non-conference games. That needs to be addressed first & also the economics, what we do with conference championship games, where the games fit & understanding the impact"

The comments come as discussions continue about potentially expanding the College Football Playoff beyond its current format.
