  • My ultimate and only sane and practical solution to the BCS mess

    Here's the ultimate solution to the BCS mess:

    The universities license their names and logos to private corporations that own the teams. The terms of the licenses will be that the teams' home field must remain within a twenty mile radius (this distance is arbitrary right now for purposes of discussion) of the licensor's campus. The players need not (and likely would not) be affiliated in any way with the university. This new system will act as literal or de facto farm system to the NFL.

    Based on the foregoing, the seasons can now be extended to as long as 18 or so games as per the NFL, incluidng a really kick ass world cup style tournament.

    Now the universities can really rake it in from license fees without dirtying themselves. Coaches, etc. will be employed by the corporation. The university only gets hefty license fees.
    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

    That's an interesting thought, SU.

    The trouble I see with that is that the bigger name schools from the BCS conferences would still have the advantage. The BCS schools get the big money because they are the teams that most folks around the company want to see and they could eventually drive the competition - the non-BCS companies - out of business and that wouldn't be any fun for us Ute or BYU fans.

    I'd prefer to see the NCAA force the BCS conferences to have a playoff or be dropped completely by the NCAA. That would include no participation in March Madness or any other NCAA sactioned sporting event.
