Gators AD Scott Stricklin talks 'healthy' College Football Playoff expansion, future of postseason

Scott Stricklin, Florida's athletics director, has previously expressed his opinion about college football's postseason. Stricker is no longer a member of the CFP committee, but he still has influence in the college sports. The CFA will expand to 12 teams in 2024. SEC teams are pushing for a nine-game league schedule. The SEC is arguably the toughest level of competition in college athletics. Oklahoma and Texas will join the conference within the next two years. It's uncertain what the future holds for the College Football Playoff. There have been many changes to the postseason in recent years, and it's safe to bet that they will continue to look for improvements.

Syracuse Orange men’s basketball: how do we feel about NCAA Tournament expansion now?

Syracuse Orange men's basketball fans have spent the last few weeks obsessing over the NET and looking for any bracket that had the Orange in contention.

NCAA Tournament expansion talk highlights leaders' absurdity

Something awfully persuasive just occurred in the college basketball world. Coaches, followed by the sport's talking heads, followed by sports writers and so on, decided almost unanimously that college students storming the court after a big win was suddenly too dangerous and had to be stopped. It's remarkable what can occur when all of the thought…

After years of debates and multiple rounds of voting, the College Football Playoff finally approved a new, expanded 12-team format for the 2024 season.

Questions about the expanded playoff

Last week, ESPN's college football reporters made their cases for the players, teams and games that they are most excited to see in the fall. This week, they're talking about the 12-team playoff -- what the issues with the format might be and which teams will be able to make the most of the new system. They'll also give their way-too-early…

The NCAA finally gets the College Football Playoff it deserves

The only winners in college football are those who understand the depth of its depravation. Everyone else will walk away from the 2023 season with the big fat loss they deserve. The presidents and trustees. The conference executives and committeemen. The athletic directors and boosters. The disingenuous, parasitic, exploitative system that all of…

One of Randale Richmond's favorite sayings is, "I try not to borrow trouble from the future." The Kent State athletic director is usually smiling when he says it - "That's how I keep my anxiety down," he adds - but just because he doesn't agonize about the future doesn't mean he doesn't prepare for it. "We talk all the time about the future…

The idea of nine conference games has lost its universal appeal and will place the debate center-stage at a posh, oceanside resort on Florida's Panhandle. "There's a lot of mixed feelings," Florida athletic…

College football 2023: TCU thumped by Georgia in national championship game, playoff expansion to 12 teams, Alabama should’ve made playoffs

Everybody loves a feel good story. Last season couldn't have gone much worse for the TCU football program, finishing with a disappointing 5-7 record. Under-pressure head coach Gary Patterson (the longest-serving coach in the school's history) resigned mid-season after two decades in the role. But that's what made this season all the more special as…

Why conference realignment might force the NCAA Tournament to expand to survive

In other words, grow the 68-team NCAA Tournament bracket.…
