of course he's going to say it's legal. he should be afraid that the ACC/Big East will be stripped of their automatic berths.

What else do you expect him to say?? Utah would have been better off before the BCS days. They probably would have won the title because BYU did back in the days before the BCS. They created the BCS (big conferences) to not allow that (a team like BYU winning the National Championship) to happen again!!

something is wrong when a 7-5 west varginia gets millions to play an inferrior 10-2 cincanatti who gets millions. There should be no auto qualifiers for teams out of the top 10 or 16 or some number. Let the playing do the talking. We need a playoff with no auto qualifiers. if we have a 16 team tournament and a 7-5 ACC champ is rated 20 they are out even though they are the top rated team in the confrence. This year TCU, BSU and Utah would get a tournament bid. Sorry ACC no millions of $ for poor football performance.

I did a quick calculation with the figures from this morning's paper. If I did my math right, BcS games pay-out $170,000,000, or 66.8% of all bowl money. BcS conferences captured $222,400,000 (87.39%) of the $254,500,000 paid out for bowl games (they could have had a little more or a little less, there were a few teams where I didn't know which conference they belong to). How is that not monopolistic? It may conform to Soviet style anti-trust laws, but I doubt it conforms to US laws.

Non-BcS teams can send AT MOST one team to a BcS game, and never the title game (though not written in any paper agreement, in essence it's written in stone - the stone hearts of the BcS powers that be.) To qualify, they have to have a perfect season, while multi-loss BcS teams get in to the big money games. Again, that may conform to Soviet style law, but not ours.

the BcS also dictates how the voters vote, just like in the Soviet Union. Yes, the BcS is a fine example of US fairness and opportunity, fully complying with all laws and senses of fair play.

I was convinced that an investigation was warranted, but after the ACC commissioner said the BCS is legal...well...shucks, let's just call the whole thing off!! He seems like a nice guy right?

I also believe that OJ is innocent, JFK is still alive, and that the BCS is not just about money!

This is all about money and Swafford knows it, but will not publicly admit it. His BCS Conference winner (Virginia Tech) and the Big East Conference winner (Cincinnati) were the lowest ranked teams in the BCS, even lower than TCU and Boise State, who couldn't get invited to the "Big Bucks" BCS. It's all about preserving the money for the six-conference conspiracy that created the BCS - not about how to determine make sure #1 plays #2 for the National Championship.

Keeping "BLACKS" out of "MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL" was "LEGAL".

SEPERATE BUT EQUAL was the "hallmark" of education in AMERICA prior to BROWN VS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (1954).

The BcS goes against EVERYTHING that is right with America.

CONSERVATIVES who favor FREE MARKET policy should be all over this issue.
