per Bennett:

Each of the major conferences have been asked to nominate people for the new College Football Playoff committee. The list from the Big Ten was both lengthy and diverse.

Commissioner Jim Delany told ESPN.com on Friday that the league submitted "dozens" of names after the league office first came up with some and then asked for suggestions from athletic directors and coaches around the conference.

"It was a pretty lengthy list of names to consider, and basically we forwarded all of them," Delany said. "But obviously, some names have more support than others."

Like other commissioners, Delany declined to reveal any names on the list. But he called it a "pretty good cross section."

"We had former media, present ADs, former ADs, former coaches and people in the private sector with good football pedigrees," he said. "They came in all shapes and sizes."
