Vol_Bengal Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 We've got $3.50 a gallon gas, we're spending money like drunken sailors on shore leave (no disrespect to sailors meant), we're pouring money into Iraq, we have jack shit for presidential candidates this go around, but to turn things on a positive... Congress is going to probe into the BCS system for college football...

Jason Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 [quote]Reps. Neil Abercrombie, D-[b]Hawaii[/b], Lynn Westmoreland, R-[b]Ga[/b]., and Mike Simpson, R-[b]Idaho[/b], are introducing a resolution rejecting the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice's antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law.[/quote] Let's see. The guy from Georgia is pissed because LSU leap frogged them for the Championship game, Hawaii is upset because their team was exposed on national TV in a BCS game. And the guy from Idaho is upset because Boise State did not get a BCS bid this past season and his team still lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
