Basically the same thing in the article below and I was working on what I felt about some of the things stated.

Passingthoughts of the article

Just a few thoughts on the DOJ, NCAA and BCS I thought Iwould share with you from this article.
Articlestatement: Spokesman Bob Williams saidEmmert consistently has said the NCAA is willing to move to a playoff format ifschools with the nation's major football programs want to go that route.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;">
My thoughtson statement: Talk about foot in mouthdisease! This is one of the reasons why the DOJ has started the investigationin the first place. You cannot expectthe nation's major football programs to take money away from its self or limelight because let's face it, Gonzaga would have never been heard of if not forthe playoff system for basketball. Would Butler have been given a chance toplay for the national championship last year if the BCS had been in place forbasketball? The problem with the systemis no [Deleted] school programs will ever have a chance to show they can be amajor program. An analogy outside of football is a small business fighting forlarge contracts. If the department ofJustice never went to bat for them would they ever have a chance to get largecontracts? We have to take the systemand revamp it to let the smaller schools have the same chances as the majorschools. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;">
Articlestatement: Bill Hancock, the BCSexecutive director, was confident the current system complies with the law. "Goodness gracious, with all that'sgoing on in the world right now and with national and state budgets being whatthey are, it seems like a waste of taxpayers' money to have the governmentlooking into how college football games are played," he said.
My thoughts on statement: Hey Bill! I think you and Mr. Junker will have the sameproblems real soon. If the DOJ is inquiring then they plan on filingcharges. Get in line for your prisonorange suit Mr. Hancock because BCS has also created the best gambling racketof the century! By the way didn't Al Caponesay the same thing at one time?
Articlestatement: Attorney General Eric Holderreferenced Varney's letter at a Senate hearing Wednesday, in response to astatement from Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican and BCS critic. Hatch calledthe BCS a "mess" and said that "privileged conferences"have tremendous advantages over the unprivileged.
My thoughtson statement: Privileged andunprivileged has been the subject since before the revolution and is why we area great nation today. Take away thenames of universities and colleges then enter names of individuals of our pasthistory who changed laws to better our society. The case against the BCS willonly grow and the DOJ most likely has evidence which could shake the world ofcollege football in the years to come if the NCAA does not act now. Just like Enronor AT&T cases you may be able to understand why we need to make the changesto college football. The privilegedshould be the best teams not privileged conferences.
Sorry for how my article I wrote looks so jumbled. It seems with the new system with killerfrogs you can not copy and paste with microsoft word without it messing up what you wrote. Needs to be fixed! :blush:
