Larry Scott and Jim Delaney have a meeting of their own
While the NCAA was holding a retreat to discuss the future of college sports, Larry Scott and Jim Delaney got together to discuss one subject that many college football fans have been clamoring about... Athletic directors of the newly expanded Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences found consensus on a...
Will the BCS get a call from the IRS?
We all know that college football is big business. With multi-million dollar TV contracts, conference realignments and such everyone affiliated with the sport is looking to cash in. That's fine...it is the American way. Capitalism if you will. But when tax exempt organizations abuse that privilege...
Fun With the BCS and College Football Realignment
Here's my plan to make college football more fair. Keep in mind I paid absolutely no attention to current TV contracts, the wishes of university presidents or bowl committees, basketball or logic. Those things tend to get in the way of what's right for the greatest sport on earth. I think my plan...

Changes to the Rose Bowl Game selection Process

National Championship Questions
Not lost on regular followers of The Cup is that fact that the Southeastern Conference is likely to house the national champion for the third year in a row after Florida plays Oklahoma tonight in Miami or the fact that Southeastern Conference teams are undefeated in the BCS National Championship...
Ole Miss - 31, National champs - 30.... You honestly think this is cool?
"Oh my God, we just beat Florida!"These are the words of a one Juco All-American, a rogue bloggeur with a love and knowledge of Ole Miss unlike most. At the time of this utterance, the Ole Miss Rebels had pulled off what then seemed to be the most unlikely of upsets. It was a damn, damn good...
The BHGP BCS Fix That Will Never Happen
Before continuing, I should acknowledge that, as Chas from Pitt Blather reminded me, the bowl and BCS situation is controlled entirely outside the realm of the NCAA. Essentially, we are calling on a monopoly to regulate itself more effectively. In other words, this entire house is built on a...
The Polls and Expectations and how they are affecting USC
Lets just say that USC dropping in the polls yesterday after a hard fought win on Saturday is an adjustment to the lack of movement that some thought should have happened after the ASU game. Clearly this is an imperfect system and it would appear that we are seeing a backlash against USC but not...
