Power 5 commissioners have reacted to the news of the College Football Playoff delay of expansion until at least 2026 with similar statements.

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren told ESPN that the conference supports expansion of the Playoff, and that the group will be able to collectively address unresolved matters and move forward for the greater good of college football.

Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff referred to working together for a more inclusive and balanced Playoff format.

Meanwhile, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby called it kicking the can down the road, and was disappointed that expansion won’t happen sooner.

Notre Dame Athletics Director Jack Swarbrick also weighed in on the news, and said people in the long term operated against their broader self-interest.
