Mark Emmert’s reluctance to mandate a common start date to the college football season aside, there’s a likelihood the commissioners want that, anyway.
Why? Three words: College. Football. Playoff. Sankey and his peers aren’t walking away from that sweet postseason payoff.
The more interesting question is going to be what happens if not all teams within a conference are able to start at the same time. My guess is they’ll accept what it takes to fashion a credible CFP, whatever that is, but in any event, it’s another indication that college football’s focus has changed, for better or worse.
