NCAA Board Sends Playoff Issue To Task Force
15th January, 2008 - 9:10 am
ESPN - University of Georgia President Michael Adams presented his proposal for an eight-team major college football playoff to the NCAA Division I board of directors Monday in Nashville, and they decided to study the issue with others before making any moves.

Ultimately, though, the board would prefer BCS officials figure out what's best for the postseason.

James Barker, chairman of the board and the president of Clemson, called the talks candid and constructive. But he said the directors believe the discussion should include presidents at the conference level and the committee overseeing the Bowl Championship Series.

The board also wants a task force announced last month by NCAA President Myles Brand to study issues over the use of student likenesses to expand its review and study commercialization as it relates to postseason football.

The task force hasn't been picked, and there's no timeline for a report to the board. [READ]
