Tony Petitti Just Got One Over on Greg Sankey ONCE AGAIN

Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey are nearing an agreement that could reshape Big Ten football and the expanded playoff format.

Reports suggest Big Ten leadership is ready to support a requirement for teams to play 10 games against Power 4 opponents or Notre Dame to qualify for the post-season. This potential shift indicates a major realignment in how the expanded college football playoff will function, with the conference seemingly gaining an advantage in the new structure.

We analyze what this means for scheduling and the future of the sport. Greg Sankey appears to be securing his objectives, but the specific requirements discussed by Tony Petitti suggest the league is positioning itself to handle the rigors of this new qualification model better than most.
