Group of Five conference football tournament that interferes with playoff would be hard to sell
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — A postseason football tournament involving only schools from outside the Power Four conferences could only work if it doesn’t interfere with the 12-team College Football Playoff, the commissioner of the Mountain West said.
Gloria Nevarez told the AP she has seen the presentation that has been making the rounds among Group of Five administrators about a G5 playoff of sorts that would be funded by private equity, but she has not personally been pitched on the idea.
“Certainly real. Certainly intriguing,” Nevarez said Wednesday night after the Mountain West spring meetings wrapped up in Scottsdale. “We are committed to the CFP. Anything would have to be significant enough to even think about stepping away from the CFP.”
The nine Bowl Subdivision conferences and Notre Dame locked in an agreement on the College Football Playoff earlier this year that runs through the 2031 season. The next two years the playoff will be a 12-team event and it could expand to 14 as soon as 2026.
