Report: Condoleeza Rice will be on college football playoff (selection) committee

Source: USA Today

NEW YORK (AP) — A person with direct knowledge of the process tells The Associated Press that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is expected to be part of the selection committee that will pick the teams for the College Football Playoff next year.

The person also said a former Air Force Academy superintendent and a former NCAA executive who worked with the basketball tournament, are expected to be part of the new 12-to-18 member football panel.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the selection process is still ongoing.

The committee is expected to be comprised of current athletic directors and former college athletic administrators and coaches.

Sorry if this sports story doesn't belong, thought it might because it involves a former US Secretary of State.

Can't imagine she'll be much of an asset here, but she'll be less of a danger than she was as part of the security team, and she'll certainly come in for a greater share of criticism if -- as I suspect -- she proves as incompetent here as she's been in the rest of her life.

talk about pissing you off! every time I saw her I'd think of her saying no-one "could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile".
