TOP STORY
1. With College Sports at Tipping Point, One Thing is Clear

by Ross Dellenger, Yahoo! Sports

“The two most powerful people in college athletics shared a room here Thursday after an unprecedented joint meeting of their school athletic directors.

Seated at a nondescript table before a dozen media members, commissioners Greg Sankey of the SEC and Tony Petitti (Haverford ‘83) of the Big Ten answered questions for nearly an hour about the ballyhooed gathering of their top leaders.

While no decisions were made, all of the topics expected to be discussed at this seven-hour summit Thursday were discussed: the future format of the College Football Playoff; a regular season football and basketball scheduling arrangement between the two leagues; and a post-House settlement governance and enforcement entity.”
