Hey, Larry Scott went through a lot of trouble to restart a football season to qualify for some of that sweet playoff cash he didn’t think was going to be there, and this is how you repay the favor, Mr. College Football Playoff Man?
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott asked the College Football Playoff management committee on Wednesday to consider expanding this year’s playoff to eight teams but the proposal was declined, playoff executive director Bill Hancock told USA TODAY Sports.
“After thorough, respectful and civil discussion, they decided that the best outcome would be to make no changes in the format, because it would have been such a significant change and would come with so many challenges, especially given that the season is already underway,” Hancock said.
That’s a shame. Now Larry’s gonna have to argue with a straight face how his 6-1 conference champ deserves a spot alongside nine and ten-game winners.
Due to the league’s limited number of games compared to its Power Five peers, the Pac-12 would have stood to benefit most from increasing the number of teams in this year’s playoff.
A bigger tourney would have meant more TV money, too. Sorry about that, Lar.
Get The Picture 
Lol.
The PAC-12 has gone from “we must cancel games for the virus” to “would ya consider an extra game because of the virus”.
It’s mutating!

Someone remind Larry that the playoff already is expanded- The PAthetiC-12 championship game is a quarterfinal. They just don’t get to advance.

I’m sorry Larry isn’t going to get as much money as he thought after he reversed course on whether it was safe to play football. Hypocrisy… FTW!

Didn’t the PAC-12 only have to qualify to get paid by the CFP? That’s why I thought they restarted, but perhaps they get extra per team that actually makes the field.
