Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz and Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert have raised questions about the purpose of conferences amid reports that an expanded College Football Playoff could eliminate conference championship games.
The coaches' comments come as the CFP considers a format that would reduce or remove the traditional conference title games, potentially altering the structure of college football.
Drinkwitz and Dickert argue that conferences exist to crown champions and provide meaningful regular-season games, and removing championship games could undermine that purpose.
Further details on the CFP expansion proposal and its impact on conference schedules are expected in the coming weeks.
