Witzburg said experts told her investigators that the level of pressure maintained in underground water mains likely thwarted any contamination. But she urged the city to improve its communication…

NEW ORLEANS — The Big Ten and Southeastern Conference commissioners on Wednesday said they will push for something closer to “straight seeding” in the College Football Playoff next season to give less of a break to lesser-ranked conference champions and better reflect how teams are ranked by the playoff selection committee. “I’m prepared to vote for seeding change,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said. “But it has to be unanimous.” At least for next season, anyway. Sankey and Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, speaking after joint meetings in New Orleans with their conferences’ 34 athletic directors, acknowledged that their leagues ultimately…
