Digest more
The two leagues have yet to agree on the College Football Playoff format after this coming season and could leave it at 12 teams.
"Let me be clear -- college athletics is not broken, but it is strained," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said during his opening address to kick off the conference's media days in Atlanta Monday morning.
Sankey said Playoff expansion is not a done deal, and it appears the SEC and Big Ten disagree on a preferred 16-team format.
Greg Sankey reiterated that the SEC and Big Ten hold all the cards when it comes to the future CFP format, but conceded that it may stay the same if an agreement can't be reached.
