And why would anyone think he belongs in that group. He’s a sht stirrer of Gump hillbillies , he has no input of merit towards college sports. He kicks people when down and sniffs arse when not. He is a master of negative clickbait.

He's got more knowledge about it than Tiger does

Way better than condalezza rice. Her only relevance is dei purpose. Majority of this board is better qualified than her. I wonder who is truly the voice of the everyday fan/alum who is truly being screwed the last view yrs.

I've seen Condaleezza Rice speak at a conference and I walked away super impressed. Very intelligent, knowledgeable, and is a great speaker.

Adam Silver? Why?

Professional sports are starting to put out a shite product. The draft pools are full of under developed players now. It’s no coincidence that the first round of the NBA draft is European heavy.

Finebaum is little more than the Jerry Springer of CFB. He has no business being in the discussion.

Btw there are no pictures of the people actually invited, but I do have Paul Finebaum's ear measuring 1.5 inches on my screen for some reason.

Why should Finebaum be invited? What makes his knowledge of college sports so indispensable?

thatthang•11 days

Saban, Meyer, Mack Brown, Tebow, and Ward are great for this but overall, that is a monumentally stupid working group. Tiger? Adam Silver? Condoleezza? Kraft?

Trump likes getting random celebrities in the same room, it entertains him. See: Celebrity Apprentice

Condoleezza Rice was an inaugural member of the College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Committee, serving from 2013 to 2017. She knows and understands college football; if memory serves me, it was something she learned to appreciate from her father.

Don't really care about her love for football she learned from her father........same for me, that doesn't qualify me to be a part of the panel. She fills a quota box - The fake black "conservative" unicorn. She wasn't qualified then, and she isn't relevant or qualified now.
Adam Silver? Hasn't he allowed enough damage to occur in his devastating reign as the worst commissioner in sports? Urban Meyer? Will there be groupies? Will there be any knowledgable adults there to actually come up with workable solutions to solve the college sports wild Wild West fiasco that the courts have thrown into disarray?
