NEW: Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko on College Football Playoff expansion talk:
"What does Mike Elko want? 40. Then I won’t get fired. It's ok to make it hard to get to the playoff."
Elko continued: "None of us are answering for the good of the sport. We’re answering for the good of ourselves."

A lot of people are asking why more politicians are not like Ben Sasse.
Because voters will not elect them, that’s why. They may say they care about character, but most don’t vote that way.

How can we expect our leaders to embody higher levels of virtue if a majority of voters don’t make personal character a red line?
It looks like we get the leaders we deserve.
