re: Playoff Expansion

The broader point here is that the current playoff system is totally unsustainable. If a single veto can deny changes that benefit the majority, it is just a matter of time until that majority (or in the SEC's case, an extremely powerful minority) simply buck the system entirely.

After just a decade of being an SEC member, it's pretty obvious why it is the most successful entity in college football. Equal-revenue sharing, straightforward membership rules, no exit fees, no bullshite.

Pretty much everywhere else in the FBS landscape is littered with corruption, cowardice and short-sighted decision-making. It's just a matter of time until the SEC either breaks away entirely or the current iteration of the playoff/bowl season fails and is rebuilt.
