Default What?????

I rarely believe that Congress should meddle in non-congressional type things like sports but after reading this idiocy there is no doubt that they should get involved. If you were caught in bed with the neighbor by your wife you could conjure up better reasoning than this...

More injuries? So those lower division players are more at risk because their games are called playoff games instead of bowl games?

Comparing attendance figures at Division 1AA and lower to what the big schools get is apples and oranges. Like comparing attendance at Thistledowns and Keeneland.

Final Exams? Yeah sure......academics!!! Give me a break.

Diminish the importance of the regular season? How exactly would it be diminished as compared to now? 10 teams get to go to BCS games, the rest live with the scraps. Who said we needed to get rid of the lesser bowls? Why are they relevant now?

If he believes college football has never been better he must not have watched the big 10 regular season outside of OSU, the entire ACC regular season, the Big 12 North or the Big East. Or watched the Sugar Bowl or most of the other mostly dull bowl games this year.
