Well, it looks as though the President has weighed in with a request from Republic Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah.
" the Justice Department is reviewing Hatch’s request and other materials to determine whether to open an investigation into whether the BCS violates antitrust laws.".
I have pretty much stayed out of this discussion even though I would like to see a playoff system. The mountain is too high to climb. This is an old boys network at it's worst making sure the 'premiere' conferences have the guaranteed bowl bids regardless of their records and the rest are left to fight for the scraps. Truly it is all about money.
What changed my mind and tune on this subject was a statement from Bill Hancock, executive director of the BCS. Mr Hancock stated, “The consensus of the schools is to go with the BCS,” Hancock added. “We feel strongly the people in higher education are the people best equipped to manage college football.”
Did you read the final sentence? Talk about arrogant, narcissistic and elitist!!!
Basically he is saying that only those who are well educated and connected are the best folks to decide what is best!
Ooops. The President graduated from Columbia and Harvard and a constitutional lawyer. Cannot get much higher than those credentials, especially the 'Mr.President' part.
Tell ya what, why don't the rest of us morons who actually pay to go to the games, who buy the products hawked shamelessly by the promoters of the bowls, boycott them all?
I am all for that. I mean, I don't have to bank at CitiBank or eat Tostito's. There are other options available. By the way, what is Citi doing promoting the Rose Bowl? Didn't they get bailed out by the taxpayers?
I digress.
