Why the BCS will be destroyed.

In an era of money being the determining factor across the entire spectrum of life, the sports world is possibly taking the biggest return. With the amount of TV stations picking up sports programs, and the quality of competition, sports revenue is climbing to great heights. With the Bowl Championship Series for college football it is no different. The only problem is, only those who are currently within the "BCS" get the reward. Of course, there have been teams like Utah, Boise State, and TCU, who have crashed the party and received paychecks much higher than they are used to. Yet, each of those teams have gone undefeated, beat a "BCS" opponent, and all been snubbed in regards to playing for a national championship.

I agree that any of the three teams would not make it undefeated in the SEC, Big Ten, or Big 12 for a whole season. However, if they were in a conference like that and were able to get the recruiting advantages like those schools, they could be powerhouses and run the table at any given time. But no, they do not have the recruiting advantages, the large pockets, or the staff to be able to pull of such a feat.

Now lets take a step back and look at March Madness with college basketball. Why is it that people love to see underdogs or lesser teams make it to the final four or championship game? Because it is the classic David and Goliath scenario. Why is there not some sort of play-in game for the college football? At least put in a point system for the BCS bowls so that when TCU beats Wisconsin they can have a shot at Oregon or Auburn.

I think the biggest reason the BCS is still in tact is money. People do not want to lose or share money. They like the fact that money will come to their conference even if all of their teams suck (*cough Big East *cough). No disrespect to you UCONN, I am glad you made it for Jazz. That is commendable and puts your institution above many because of the integrity in which you have handled the last year and a half. However, a four loss team...

Nevertheless, I am getting to the point of why the BCS will be destroyed. With the latest snubbing of Michigan State no getting to a BCS bowl, Wisconsin losing to TCU, and ultimately and yes this is my guess that the national championship is going to be a major let down, the BCS members as of now will not be happy and they will also seek for change. I do not know if it will happen. I hope it does. I do not care to see a 16 team playoff that is dragging on a season, but I would like to see some sort of play in system to where an elite non automatic qualifying team can still make it to the title game.

NEW DIRECTION

This blog was built for school purposes, however, I feel that it is time to take it in another direction. My classes that require posts are officially over, and there are only a few things I have strong passions for in this life. Sports, Religion, and my Family. I think I am finally going to start using this more of a journal type record. Nevertheless, y'all know that I love to write and I love to talk sports. I am going to incorporate my thoughts on the issues and events of major sporting events and the minor ones that I am involved in. Please comment and treat this as a column type format, I would love to get feedback or new ideas for what I can write on. Happy 2011 to everyone. Let's hope this is a better year for my sports teams.

2011

It is hard to imagine how fast time has gone. It seems just yesterday I was in Blacksmith Fork Canyon proposing to Brittney ... Now we have a handsome son who is everything I have ever hoped for. I look forward to the coming years of making memories with him and his future siblings.

Often times I find it hard to allow people to become close to me or my situation. I think it is more of a fear of me letting people down. I have great family. My parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. are the greatest ever. That is including my in-laws side and their extended families. I am truly blessed.
