Indiana football players oppose Big Ten plan to remove title game

At the Big Ten Media Days in Chicago, Indiana football players expressed their opposition to Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti's proposal for a 24-team College Football Playoff that would eliminate the conference championship game. Petitti stated that the change is aimed at enhancing CFP access but acknowledged the emotional significance of the title game. Indiana players highlighted the importance of the championship in determining the best team in the conference, sharing their pride in past victories and their desire to maintain the tradition. The proposal could take effect as soon as the 2027 season if there is consensus among power conferences.
