MWC playoffs to congress

April 7th, 2009

foxpoll The MWC is at it again, this time sending their playoff proposal to Congress. Will it make a difference? Does anyone in Washington really care? I personally believe momentum is building.

The poll shown is currently running at the link above and has some interesting results. By far, college football fans think BCS reform is either not the business of the United States Congress or Congress has bigger fish to fry.

I’d like to hear some reasons why people think it’s not the business of Congress to be concerned about collusionary financial anti-competitive practices in our country.

I think the BCS problem increasingly falls inside the realm of Congress. If University Presidents have sold their sense of equality and fairness for a bigger cut of football earnings, they deserve to be subject to the law just like anybody else. Microsoft wasn’t allowed to get away with monopolistic behaviors, why should the BCS be allowed to get away with it?
