Pac-12 Network Groundbreaking: No Word Yet on Pac's College Football Postseason Plan

The Pac-12 held a groundbreaking ceremony for it new network office headquarters in San Francisco, CA this afternoon.

Commissioner Larry Scott, had a few words to say about the conference, "It's an exciting time for college sports in general and there's no more exciting place to be than the Pac-12. We've got a great dynamic and bold vision for the future of college sports and the future of our conference."

It can definitely be said that Scott has a “bold vision,” with the conference expansion, Pac-12 Network, Pac-12 and B1G partnership, and now talk of expanding the Pac presence (tournaments, summer events…) to Asia.

Larry Scott did not give a Pac-supported plan for postseason football yet, and only briefly talked about the B1G’s playoff plan:

“Scott said he is also talking with conference presidents and athletic directors about making changes to the Bowl Championship Series starting in 2014.

The Big Ten athletic directors recently announced they are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff as opposed to the current system that matches the top two teams based on poll and computer rankings.

A four-team playoff was proposed in 2008 by the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference. It was shot down by the leaders of the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame.

NCAA President Mark Emmert has also said he supports a four-team championship playoff and is strongly against a 16-team format.

Scott said the conference could come up with its own plan or latch on to one from another conference before BCS meetings in April. He would not comment specifically on the Big Ten's plan, only saying it was indicative of "an open-mindedness."

"People are trying to think proactively," Scott said. "That's certainly what our approach is going to be. We want to look at it with a fresh set of eyes and be creative like we've done on other topics. There are, we believe, improvements that can be made and need to be made in postseason college football. We're not there with any particular plan or endorsement yet."
