Conference Realignment--More Whip

[LongJim]

Dodds spoke at an Austin Rotary club meeting this week, and made the following comments which I thought some might find interesting, and bold emphasis is mine:

**********************************************************************************************

The Conference Realignment fiasco is not over with. "As soon as the Big 10 decides they want to start adding more teams again then we will have to go through it all again because everyone is affected."

Feels that once the Super Conferences are established in the future they will end up being regulated by the Federal Govt. Says that all the smaller state schools who are left out of the opportunities of the bigger schools will be the driving force behind congress stepping in.

On a College Football Playoff: "I spent 5 years of my life trying to get a college football playoff and got nowhere. As long as there is a Rose Bowl Parade and Rose Bowl game they will not allow a college playoff to happen. They are so intent on not losing their traditional PAC 10/Big 10 match-up that they will not let it go." He then went on to say "I would support a college football playoff among every other school and conference not in the Big 10/Pac10 if that's the way they want to do it."

Wow quite interesting. Didn't know he felt that way.
