FanNation - The Republic of Sport

Obama's first big ally in fixing college football - a Texas republican. Who would'a thunk??
God Bless America!

It's only unfair when their team gets left out. That's when they decide to take action.

Is this a joke? The government needs to stick to things that concern the government. I don't give two **** what some senator or representative thinks about college football.

On a side note, why is there a picture of Bob Stoops next to this story?

The BCS is bullsh-it anyway. But we have a new GOD call ooobbbaama. Hale to ooobbbama he will fix it. YA

U can say what u want but everyone knows the current system is jackedup and needs to be fixed... if u don't have a solution then shut up, sit back, and listen to one

did you read the article? he also tried to do something 3 years ago, which TX team was controversially left out of something 3 years ago?

I like the way he is going about it. Can't force them to change the way they are doing things by asking them... so make it illegal to advertise it as a championship game.

I say we need an Executive Order #1 on January 21st from Obama stating that the NCAA must take over the Bowls and enact a playoff system

Don't worry about our economy, the war, the borders, health care, the environment, national security. Waste your time on someting that DOESN'T MATTER! Things must be wonderful in Texas if that's all this numbskull has to worry about.

A public service announcement from a huge college football fan that would prefer a playoff system.

Everyone wants a playoff system but how are we ever gonna get one? I seriously doubt that one day the BCS officals will wake up one day and think... we need a playoff system... then magic its done

Politicians should worry about fixing the **** mess they have created and leave sports alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what i was thinking, this dude forgot the point of his job

Did not read post WHY ARE POLITICANS WORRIED ABOUT THE BCS IT IS NOT A GOVERNMENT BRANCH ,HOW ABOUT FIXING THE ECONOMY AND GETTING U.S. CITIZENS BACK TO WORK INSTEAD OF WHAT TEAM FROM YOUR STATE GOT LEFT OUT OF BCS( THE WHO ESPN WANTS IN THE GAMEBOWL GAMES).SEND THE ILLEGAL IMM BACK HOME SO U.S. CITZ CAN GET BACK TO WORK AND HAVE MONEY TO GO TO GAME AND SEND THERE KIDS TO COLLEGE..........

What a coincidence....he is from Texas. Politicians....STAY OUT OF SPORTS!!! YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL!!!!!!

Simple solution: The BCS drops the word "national" and just goes with "BCS Championship Game".

I am very disappointed that a Republican (at one time the party of limited government) would put forth this idea.

With the ecomony headed for the Great OBAMA depression, I would think that politicians would have something more important that a kids game.

i agree a playoff is the way to go... but politicians need to get ther noses out of sports... don't we have bigger problems?... we are a ong way off for a play off (due to the money that the bowls generate)... but i say cut the season by one game (play 11) the only reason we play 12 is to allow teams to play a FCS team to get bowl eligible.... get rid of conference championships (heck get rid of divisions in conference)... rank them off 1-8 (maybe 12, giving 1-4 a bye) using the same BCS formula (and include the AP and legends poll) that would give us 4 human votes and a set of computers.... play the games in december... we can still have the bowls (when a team is eliminated they can still play a bowl game) and the Nat'l Champ game played at Neutral site like a College SuperBowl (Float it around)

Politicians need to keep their noses out of football. They have bigger fish to fry right now. I don't want Obama, or a Republican from Texas, or anyone else in Congress messing with college football.

The government screws things up. It doesn't fix them. The 10 worst words you'll ever hear. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

That is so true big government never works, only small Government works.

Politicians=Trash

Dont get rid of the bowl just change it up.

The bowl system is revenue stream for colleges and cities alike. Just change up the way it is done. But keep the bowl games.
