Ohio State's athletic director Ross Bjork stressed the importance of reforming the College Football Playoff (CFP) calendar during the annual spring meetings. Emphasizing the need for proactive change rather than reactive responses, he detailed how the current scheduling has adversely affected student-athletes, particularly regarding academic commitments. Bjork's comments come after his team faced challenges in adhering to academic protocols during the playoff season. He advocated for addressing calendar issues to avoid future complications and maintain fairness in competition among schools.
"When we had this setting here with the commissioners, our job was to provide feedback on what was it like to go through the 12-team playoff ... but it all gets impacted by the calendar."
"I felt it was important to lay that out with everyone in the room to say, separate from the CFP process, if we don't fix our calendar as an industry, then we're going to continue to have unintended consequences."
