NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The NCAA Division I board of directors has relegated University of Georgia President Michael Adams' proposal for a major college football playoff to a committee for further study.
Adams presented his idea to the board yesterday during the NCAA convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
The board decided instead to let a task force that is supposed to study issues over commercial use of student likenesses' expand its review to include the playoff issue. The task force hasn't been named, and there's no timeline for a report.
James Barker, chairman of the board and the president of Clemson, called the talks candid and constructive. But he said the directors believe the discussion should include presidents at the conference level and the committee overseeing the Bowl Championship Series.
Adams favors an eight-team playoff using the four BCS bowl games. The winners of the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and Fiesta Bowl would meet in semifinals, to be followed by a championship game between the winners of the semifinals.
