Congress involving themselves in the BCS is a WASTE of our money
and their time.
We have two wars, people dying without healthcare stateside, our economy is in the toilet, no job growth...and Congress is worried about College Football???
Give me a fucking break.

3. BCS is flawed, and that's why the NCAA should fix it
Just because something is flawed does not mean Congress has to meddle with their little mitts.

4. Exactly.
It IS flawed and I am sure that is a bummer for collegiate fans.
However, there ARE governing bodies of college football...but these rich "boosters" (think Clements and SMU) are missing out on the bowl dollars so they call in their political favors on football.
It is DISGUSTING.
