Big Ten commish on football playoff: What’s in it for us?

The Big Ten commissioner says his conference has already sacrificed much for the good of college sports by giving up some access to the Rose Bowl, and he sees no reason why it should give even more to create a football playoff. Jim Delany was joined by several other commissioners Wednesday in Manhattan at the IMG Intercollegiate Athletic Forum. They covered topics ranging from conference alignment to the NCAA to the Bowl Championship Series. Delany, a hard-line opponent of a major college football playoff, says many conferences made sacrifices to create a system that could benefit all the leagues.
