Smoke and Mirrors used by the Senate
Everyone from President Barack Obama on down to fans has criticized how college football determines its top team. Now senators are getting off the sidelines to examine antitrust issues involving the Bowl Champion Series.
Senate reviewing how college football picks No. 1
Ok WTF is going on with our government? We have a national/global crisis going on in the financial and employment sectors, our nation is perceived as weak by other nations,and our Senators are looking into how football picks are made? WHO THE FUCK CARES??? Frankly I think this is a ploy to distract us from the real shit that is going on, to get us to focus on the inanity of this rather than to be watching the moves that are being make to bring our once great nation closer to socialism.
Obama and some members of Congress favor a playoff-type system to determine the national champion. The BCS features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer ratings.
Behind the push for the hearings is the subcommittee’s top Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. People there were furious that Utah was bypassed for the national championship despite going undefeated in the regular season.
The title game pitted No. 1 Florida (12-1) against No. 2 Oklahoma (12-1); Florida won 24-14 and claimed the title.
The subcommittee’s statement said Hatch would introduce legislation “to rectify this situation.” No details were offered and Hatch’s office declined to provide any.
