New York, New York – A third page of the now infamous manifesto left behind by Luigi Mangione—the prime suspect in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—details a stern opposition to the updated 12-team playoff format. A transcript of the un-redacted third page of the manifesto, obtained exclusively by CFB News Now, can be found below.
“And lastly, to the College Football Playoff selection committee, I implore you: consider what the new 12-team format has done to the game. Has it made crowning a champion any simpler or easier?
12 is a fairly awkward number of contenders to assemble to decide a national champion. Six made more sense, eight at the most. You could go to sixteen, but then at that point, it would be incumbent upon anyone who cares about the game to advocate for the elimination of conference championships.
Whatever tweaks you make, we should never have to choose between a conference championship game participant (SMU) and a Bama team that just got smoked by three touchdowns by a (bad) Oklahoma squad. (Thank you for doing what was right this year and keeping Bama out.)”
