Another scathing endictment of BCS influence in basketball
Check out Ed Graney’s column from the Las Vegas Review Journal: NCAA’s road of restriction gets longer. This is another great read.
Numbers don’t lie. Twelve at-large berths were awarded to non-Bowl Championship Series schools in 2004. That total has shrunk each year since and became four on Sunday. One of those is Brigham Young, and the Cougars are about as midmajor as Provo is diverse. BYU is a nationally known athletics program that won a national title in football back when that sport wasn’t controlled by greedy, arrogant suits from six leagues that discriminate against all others when it comes to revenue sharing.
BYU is major enough to make that number of nonpower at-large berths this year be considered three instead of four.
