PING
Any knowledgeable people out there able to tell me what would happen if the Congressional committee tasked to regulate our sports industry didn't exist?
jeez not ANOTHER thing the Government has no right to get into......
The BCS sucks, but that isn't for Congress to get into.
Well when I say my prayers tonight I will thank God that congress has done such a great job of taking care of the big problems in this world that now congress can focus on the BCS.
I agree, politics have no place in sports. Also, see my tagline.
Joe Barton is an Aggie......what concern about the BCS do the Aggies have?
yeah....
that's just wrong
LOL
I have an idea. Why doesn't Congress finish this year's defense budget first. We are in the middle of a war and Congress can't get the budget done. If BCS is screwed up let the teams take the NCAA to court.
Every game should be played at a neutral site.
After round one, the seven remaining teams will be joined with the #1 team which had the bye. So that leaves 8 teams. Four games in round two, two in round three, then the championship game. All of this should take place beginning the weekend after Thanksgiving. Every game should be played by the end of the semester, except for the championship. Have that game after the new year.
So now where's the problem?
The system is already messed up enough...just what it needs,"congressional oversight", LOL.
I guess the interstate commerce concerns "warrant" congress getting involved.....this should be interesting to watch.
More big government and socialism...and this guy calls himself a Republican?
I'm ambivalent about this. College football has undoubtedly the worst system of any sport, college or pro, and I'd love to see it changed. But I don't like Congress sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.
Hi, R. It's been awhile.
It figures that Congress would go nosing around the BcS in the one year that it appears it will actually work as it was intended. Where were they in 2001,when Nebraska backed into the title game despite getting blown out by Colorado and failing to even win their own division in the Big XII, 2003, when USC got robbed and Oklahoma backed in, or last year when Auburn got jobbed?
Maybe John Kerry should lead this Congressional investigation, especially since the video review of referee calls came into play in college ball. You know....."I called it a touchdown before I didn't call it a touchdown."
Good grief...I thought this was Scrappleface. Texas is drowning in criminal illegals, and Joe Barton wants hearings on the BCS bowls, proving once again that Congress is clueless. I really don't think we should allow congress to have a thing to do with sports. It's the only thing they haven't managed to screw up.
