Q&A: AAC’s Mike Aresco talks disappointment of no early CFP expansion, optimism for future | JoeJHoyt
didn’t come as a surprise to American Athletic Commissioner Mike Aresco. That didn’t make it any less of a disappointment.on Friday. “Extremely disappointed, because I thought the obstacles could’ve been dealt with and should’ve been dealt with. On the other hand, it’s been a collegial — no pun intended — environment. People have been frank, we’ve had our discussions, but I respect everyone and I respect there were honest disagreements.
All 11 members of the College Football Playoff management committee needed to agree in order to expand before the current CFP system ran out after the 2025 season, but it couldn’t be done. Mark Keenum, the President of Mississippi State, told Sports Illustrated that the Pac-12, the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Big Ten were the three dissenters.
“We’ve had so many meetings I can’t even recall when it was starting to slip away, but certainly by the time we met in December I started to become more pessimistic, at least for anything getting done in 2024 and 2025. And then the Indianapolis meeting [in January], certainly — I came out of that and asked somebody if [the movie] ‘Groundhog Day’ was playing in a local theater because we all ought to go see it, because that’s what we had been through.
“The five plus one, that came very late in the game, and that troubled me. We seemed to think everyone was going to be on board with [six automatic qualifiers plus six at-large bids]. It was so well-received and it’s the right way to do a playoff. You have to remember a playoff isn’t a bowl tie-in. A bowl tie-in is based on brand, attendance potential, sponsorship potential, TV ratings potential, and that’s fine … but a playoff is different. There has to be an element of fairness. Period.
To your knowledge, will there be a need for universal agreement for a playoff system after 2025, or will it be a super majority-type thing?
