What were Harvey's oppositions to the new format?

I think we have a good president too. I think his views represented the views of the entire conference as well.

What the heck did he do to you, bshirt, kick your puppy?

Ha...I just don't like the guy at all. But as usual, I'm in the extreme minority about this and that's ok.

I tell ya what zoogies, regardless of our head bureaucrat, you've got just a few months to get ready for a scoring explosion this year. You're gonna love it!

 
I don't like the 4 team playoff idea. They have a hard enough time picking the top 2, making it 4 just makes it doubly hard. Sometimes you know the top 2 and you don't need to go to 4 and sometimes you could pick 8 teams! This is going to be a mess.

I'm thinking he was the BIG goat in this. Doing the dirty work for the conference more then what he thought would be in the best interest of Nebraska, even though they probably aren't much different.

 
What's the basis for that? He probably has the school's best interest at heart, whether or not any segment of the fan base may want the same things.

 
There is a much bigger segment of the fanbase, who would keep the current system, than people think. They may not get on here and say "Its gonna happen so get over it",blah blah blah over and over again, and maybe they weren't included in the "polls" that determined that "College football fans demand a playoff". (I wasnt) but they are there.For me there are too many people trying to state their opinions as facts in this matter.

 
To the above poster who was focusing on the players, you can't compare a bowl to a playoff. A playoff means you show up in South Bend friday and tour the campus and then play a regular game with consequence on Saturday. That's miles away than spending a week in Scottsdale with accompanying pomp, fanfare and celebration for the final game of the year.

I posted elsewhere, is Federal Express going to pay millions for a post season game whereever Miami plays now? Do the players get a gift basket? Does any of that exist for an NCAA tournament invite? I really don't know and Chancellor Pearlman was reasonable to object.

To me it sounds like a big fuss about nothing. The players in the final 4 will be excited about playing whether it extends the season or not and the other bowls can just continue as usual. How they can make a big deal out of this...???
