Head of BCS snipes at senators but will answer letter - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com

Head of BCS snipes at senators but will answer letter - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com - March 10, 2010:

"BCS executive director Bill Hancock said Wednesday he will respond to a question-filled letter sent to him by two U.S. Senators.
'I'm looking forward to taking a longer look at the letter. I sure do think that Congress has more important things to do, with all the issues facing our country,' Hancock said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. 'The BCS is fair. Access is fair. Revenue is distributed fairly. And frankly, we welcome the opportunity to tell our story every chance we get.'"

Your word in God's ear, Bill.

What Hancock does not understand is that the BCS is not fair, access is not fair, revenue is not distributed fairly and the BCS thinks it is above it all. In fact, it is a monopoly, and we have laws against that. Just ask the players at Boise State and their fans last year if they think the BCS system is fair. Bill, you are living in a dream world of your own creation which has no relation to sports reality at all. Money is your world. Money, not sports.

Does the Senate have better things to do than investigating the BCS? Very few. The BCS sucks. It is the antithesis of the American dream. It is the world the American founders wanted to get away from. It is the world of perks and politics, connections and favoritism, backroom dealings and citizen connings. It is about as far removed from purity in sports as all the drug-laced athletes that monopolize the sports pages of the tabloids. Cheaters. Con artists. Bamboozlers.

The BCS stands for all of what is wrong with America at the moment, Bill - and that is a lot. The country has degenerated to such a degree that national champions in sports are no longer determined by performance but by politics. When that is straightened out, Bill, then maybe we can get sensible laws about health care and similar things desperately in need of reform in a country now sunk so far below its potential, that it is pathetic.
