Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti spoke at the Big Ten spring meetings this week and had some pretty strong thoughts on the future of the sport. To no one's surprise, he doubled down on wanting to expand the playoff to 24 teams. He noted that 16 is not an option and he is fine with remaining at 12 or expanding to 24. He also spoke about the idea of a 10-game conference schedule, rather than the current 9-game schedule, if the playoff were to expand to 24 teams. One other topic of note that he discussed was the College Sports Commission. He said that changes need to be made to the CSC. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss all of his comments and analyze what each means for the sport. They also preview the SEC spring meetings and discuss what similar conversations will happen there.
Later, Andy and Ross check-in on Baton Rouge as a familiar face has returned. Coach Ed Orgeron has returned to LSU to join Lane Kiffin's staff. Coach O is at least the third coach that has come back to LSU after being previously fired within the last decade. The other two are basketball coaches Johnny Jones and Will Wade. The guys discuss how this came to be and what impact it will have on Kiffin's program.
