I know that currently the BCS has a cap of 35 bowl games by virtue of a temporary moratorium, meaning as of right now, 70 of the 120 teams will play a postseason game. But why not one more to share the wealth (i.e. line some pockets)?
I've mentioned Death to the BCS on this blog before, even recommended it personally to a few people. One of the people who's picked up the book is my old friend Geoff Clark, he of the Grabbing the Bull Horns blog that is covering Da Bulls fairly in depth. He texted me this morning about his experience in reading it. We occasionally have awesome brainstorming sessions, and this turned into another one. Everything in parentheses that follows is thoughts I had at the time we were discussing this or notes about things related to what he or I say.
Geoffy: "Reading that book now. Can't believe they act like bowls profit everybody."
Me: "They want to keep up the idea so they can get richer. Told you it was eye-opening."
G: "If this is what happens to D-1 schools, I can even imagine what [North Central College athletic director] Jim Miller would be going through if it happened here."
Me: "We'd be out of competitive sports. Hell, we'd probably have been out after a few years."
Then Geoffy gets totally brilliant.
