It appears the BCS is set to undergo a major overhaul.
The 11 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick are meeting in South Florida this week to talk about the future postseason format. These discussions are certain to impact BYU, which is entering its second year as an independent.
Another major independent, Notre Dame, will have a voice at this meeting. Changes in the postseason could affect the status of Notre Dame and BYU.
"Swarbrick and head coach Brian Kelly spoke at a dinner Saturday at the Joyce Center, and, naturally, the subject of the BCS, and specifically Notre Dame's fit in it, came up," writes Matt Fortuna of ESPN.com. "'The goal and priority is to remain independent (in football),' Swarbrick said, according to Notre Dame's sports information department. 'What the postseason becomes is the lynchpin. There's still one chapter to come as far as conference realignment and that will come after these BCS discussions. These are an important three-and-a-half days (of meetings) this next week in Florida. (The result) will have a significant impact on us one way or another.'"
Turning to basketball, high school phenom Jabari Parker is being recruiting by a host of schools, including BYU. Parker's coach, Robert Smith, said Parker hasn't eliminated long-shot programs from consideration, but he wants to win an NCAA championship.

Wishful thinking on the part of a BYU-hating troll. Even with a WAC heavy schedule, which ends this year, Independent BYU still drew over 150 THOUSAND more fans to LES than PAC 12 Utah drew to RES, or an average of 15 More..

"Overhaul won't have any impact on BYU football since no matter what they decide, it is still about wins against BCS opponents."
Unfortunately for U, it's not just about wins, it's also about losses More..
It could shake out 100 different ways, but all scenarious have one constant:
No one wants byu.
You are not a BCS quality program.
You do not have BCS quality athletes.
Yo do not have BCS quality coaches.
