Welcome back to the Michigan Insider here on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

We have more from Commissioner Tony Petiti speaking at the podium yesterday than a Big 10 football media days in Las Vegas.

So let's get back to the commissioner now here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA.

Good morning, Commissioner, Bob McHierry with Reddit's college football.

You've talked about your concerns over subjectivity in an expanded

playoff format like a 5 plus 11. Do you feel there was issues with subjectivity in the committee

this past season that leads you to that conclusion? I think it's been really hard thing to do

for a long time. I mean, you go back to going back to the BCS and deciding who the two teams are and then going back through the 14 playoff. It hasn't been easy. And I think I'm not going to comment on the last couple of seasons, but I think there are a lot of places who think it's also, you know, teams not getting consideration. I just think there's a lot of that. So the idea that I'm not going to point to any one, you know, school, whether it's in our league or outside our league.

You can go back and look at the reaction when the rankings come out and who's invited and see all that yourself.

But at the end of the day, I think there's been a lot of concern about how those decisions are made.

I focus on that piece.

How are we differentiating from teams that don't have head-to-head play, teams that

don't play common schedules across leagues that do different things? I think that's a really hard,

tall order. And the point I'll make is that every time you think about expansion, I think there's

some sort of counter idea that it gets easier to make these decisions. It actually gets harder.

More teams look alike. You know, more teams are going to have nine and three records. More teams are going to struggle in a conference road game. More teams might stumble in a conference home game. You know, and some teams play tougher non-conference schedules, at least. And there's also just the evolution of how you go through the season and how you move across. So I just think that those decisions are really difficult to make. And, you know, I know this has been the system that we've

used for a really long time, but I have a hard time believing and expanding it that will make

these decisions easier. Thank you. On your far left. Adam King, 10 TV, there's a report out that

you wrote a letter to the NCAA about the Michigan signed stealing

scandal.

Curious whether the letter happened or not, do you believe that that should be put to bed,

that the punishment that you issued is strong enough and that the investigation should
