Anti-BCS resolution introduced

you sound like a man with no back bone!
If we ARE going to DO IT, let's also make sure that these types of proceedings won't inspire ESPN, sportswriters, and BCS Bowl Coalitioners to sabatoge worthy teams from proving it on the field like they did to Utah back in 2004. If the Broncos could beat an Oklahoma, and the Utes could destroy and embarrass an Alabama, would we be tempting the BCS commissioners to ensure the next BCS-buster won't be relegated to the most irrelevant bowl like the Fiesta in '04, or the Orange in '08?
Better be proactive in THAT regard.
BUT the only way to end something that is unfair is to press legal action when there is a case to cause action. It was the only way to introduce Title 9 for equal opportunities for college sports, and it's the only way to end something that is unfair. Utah's unbelievable season gave such opportunity.
UUh8r is nothing more than a jealous Y fan who can't stand that BYU's ONLY undefeated season in their history - a full 25 years ago - created such an uproar that the major conferences felt the need to create an exclusionary club called the BCS - while Utah's undefeated season is creating the OPPOSITE hype - where most of the nation thinks that they SHOULD have been given a fair shot at being #1.
Great job for pushing this bill forward. I know that nationally, most do support the movement.
The U of U is state school that receives tax dollars.
If the BCS is gone and a national playoff exists there is more money on the table for these schools to win through excellence in sports.
Thus helping to alleviate the tax burden.
48-12!
GO UTES!
That's a brilliant comment since the Utes are using exactly the same argument that gave BYU the trophy in the first place. Maybe you should use some common sense when you post. And I also disagree with UUH8T, the legislature has the ability to do several different things.
Now is the time to take a stand and create a fair system!
Cinderella only had to get up for one ball.
Without BYU, Utah would have been on the outside looking in in 2004 and 2008, even with their undefeated seasons.
But, leave it to a cougar fan to take credit for the accomplishments of others. Typical BYU arrogance!
Given the fact that most of the BCS conferences are good enough that they'd send their champion to a BCS game pretty much every year anyway, I bet they'd accept a uniform standard for all conferences under such conditions.
Yea, credit BYU for everything good that happens to anybody.
Fact is, BYU has never done anything to help anyone else. EVER! Who are you going to thank for that extra $1 Million this year???
You are petty and immature. Get together for your own sakes. Who cares about the validity of the 1984 title? This happens on every BYU/Utah board. Total stupidity breaks out. Neither school gets respected like the teams you say they are and you aren't helping.

To really understand how pathetic and duplicitous the NCAA is in this debacle, consider that the highest division, Division 1-A, was renamed the Football Bowl Division. Unbelievable!
