Private equity was front and center for their refusal

to sign on the dotted line. Neither University needs that money, but several mid an lower BIG schools are not doing so well with their budgets. BTW, PE is coming whether we agree/like it or not.

Why is White House Commitee leaning towards 24 team playoff
harlote101 • 04/22/26 09:56 AM ET
A 6-5 Big 10/SEC team winning the last game edging into the playoff - awful**
HouClone • 04/23/26 05:48 PM ET
Or a 3 loss team getting into a 12 team playoff?- awful**
Big12 guy • 04/23/26 08:35 PM ET
Why would anyone care about a WH Committee on the CFP?

USC and Michigan not signing GOR for a reason, they are P1 candidates IMHO

Private equity was front and center for their refusal ◄
Big12 guy • 04/22/26 08:12 PM ET
Agree it’s coming but they think they can get a bigger one from P1, so GOR
Stech • 04/22/26 08:22 PM ET
I'm not sold on the P1 idea, but know it's a possibility. **
Big12 guy • 04/22/26 08:26 PM ET
I don’t want it and I don’t know if it’s happening, but listen to Saban on
Stech • 04/22/26 10:50 PM ET
The ones in bed with Fox, just like the folks in the White House**

Hmmm…are you possibly politically slithering about?**
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 08:41 AM ET
Political slithering alert**
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 08:39 AM ET
indeed
Vippie1 • 04/22/26 03:41 PM ET
Another possible politically slithering remark? 🤣
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 08:42 AM ET
Everyone is at 9 conference games now in P4
HokieAl • 04/22/26 12:31 PM ET
To me the best part of a "24 bracket" is that 16 teams get a playoff game
33laszlo99 • 04/22/26 04:49 PM ET
100%, and 24 spots means that 32 teams
Big12 guy • 04/22/26 07:40 PM ET
Even if the final product ends up being 20 bids for the P2s, 2 bids for the

Have you ever heard of the D1 NCAA men's basketball tournament?
Baltimore_Hokie • 04/22/26 12:19 PM ET
Devil's in the details. What even does a 24-team playoff mean?
Maroon Baboon • 04/22/26 11:12 AM ET
And we care about a meaningless WH committee because....?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/22/26 11:07 AM ET
"Meaningless " WH committee in normal times
Vippie1 • 04/22/26 03:49 PM ET
Boy, you sure are making this into politics board, aren’t you?
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 08:44 AM ET
Because it is a precursor for possible anti trust legislation. **
Big12 guy • 04/22/26 11:12 AM ET
Doubt it. Everything the WH does is meaningless. Just hot air.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/22/26 11:23 AM ET
Bingo looks like the herding affect… more politics**
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 08:46 AM ET
If I am hurting your feelings your skin is WAY to thin.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/23/26 11:05 AM ET
No thin skin… I just don’t like being called out by others when I waiver

Then I guess you have a preconceived bias. **
Big12 guy • 04/22/26 11:24 AM ET
No, I actually understand the law
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/22/26 11:36 AM ET
Agreed. The President is merely the manager of the Executive Branch
TerryD • 04/22/26 12:38 PM ET
They are the ones that sign the bills into laws. They do have influence. **
Big12 guy • 04/22/26 11:38 AM ET
Again, when a bill actually lands on their desk give me a call
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/22/26 11:44 AM ET
But you’re doing it anyway, aren’t you?
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 08:47 AM ET
Your political stripes are showing. Reread my texts…
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/23/26 11:03 AM ET
Don’t be silly I’m about as straight down the middle as they can be.
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/23/26 12:28 PM ET
