The College Football Playoff is being militarized.

Lt. Gen. Richard Clark, the superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy, is expected to be the next leader of the College Football Playoff, multiple sources tell Yahoo Sports.

In a somewhat stunning hire, Clark emerged from a small group of finalists who interviewed in person this week in Dallas. He would replace Bill Hancock, who has presided over college football’s postseason for the last 18 years.
