ACC commish says BCS complies with law

In other words, "Utah (and every other non-BCS school) you better be happy with the little piece of the pie we are so graciously, allowing you to taste." (All the while said while basking in the glow of the multi-million dollar pay-out each and every year to nearly every BCS school whether appearing in a bowl game or not.)
Gee thank you so very, very much BCS. We'll go back in our room now and be good little kids.
I am not sure why anyone talks/ARGUES about fairness or competition or anything else in an effort to get thing changed. There is nothing besides MONEY that controls the BCS.
MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
They get it all--why would they want a system that causes them to lose money that they have already schemed to collect?
The answer is to build a competing system that draws money away by diluting their product. Then the two sides would have to come together to compromise.
How many top 25 ACC teams are there this year as opposed to top 25 MWC and WAC?
Now what seems fair.
Lame, Unfair system based on Money and greed...
... glad to see the AP knows it's facts ?!
I guess I will settle for a couple of small BCS bucks when I know there is a larger one lurking out there in Utah wishing he could take them on.
It is MONEY and schemeing a way to break the money monopoly they have is the only way to combat the BCS.
By next season, Utah will have pulled out a come-from-behind squeaker because of a blown call by the officials.
Let's hope that the end of the BCS comes sooner instead of later.
Works for me.

Cut it out "byu has one" - yes we won the NC which I am gratefull we Cougars got it but I believe Utah should too (disgruntle).
Go Cougars!
When you grow up, maybe you'll learn to respect the accomplishments of others.
It might be better than what we have now, but Utah would have been left out (and indeed, would have been matched with a "lesser" bowl opponent) just the same as in the current system.
the MWC is 2-0 in BCS bowls
as long as teams from the "chosen" conferences keep collecting their paychecks, the BSC teams will continue to be as happy with the BCS as pigs in mud.
But, watch out; if one of the current BCS conferences (ACC or Big East) ever gets booted in favor of the MWC or WAC, they'll be squealing like stuck pigs and you can bet your last nickle they'll be lining up their lawyers and congressman to sue the BcS before the ink on the new BCS agreement is dry.
of course it does; is their anyone on the planet who believes he would have said that it doesn't...
as long as the ACC is one of the conferences on the inside looking out at the beggars on the street?
Legality is just a matter of who is interpreting the law. The BCS is illegal simply because it doesn't accomplish anything it was set up to do, but no matter what, you know the money ends up with the BCS supporters each year. If that is not illegal, than mob rule is the law of the day.
Go Cougars, Go Utes, Go Tulsa, Go Boise State, Go TCU, and Go real fans, but don't any of you expect fair treatment or fair payout because you're not in charge. Big business is in charge. It is one of the biggest exclusionary oligopoly's that has ever flaunted itself so well in the public eye. But if the game played on the field can't bust this system, I guess I'm rooting for lawyers and attorneys now. Go justice!
BYU
TCU.
1993--Auburn 11-0
1994--Texas A&M 10-0
1995--Toledo 11-0-1
1998--Tulane 12-0
1999--Marshall 13-0
2004--Auburn 13-0
2004--Utah 13-0
2006--Boise State 13-0
2008--Utah 13-0
Looks like Utah will join Auburn at getting hosed twice.
This is about a level playing field, a level opportunity based upon performance (not perception), and a level opportunity of the monetary pay-offs which go toward better recruiting, better facilities, better TV contracts...and translates into better competition. Too bad it's not really about that to the BCS.
Here's what's interesting: BYU is credited with being the cause of the BCS mess, and Utah may very well be its undoing.
