Time is of the essence in determining what the BCS will look like as the Rose Bowl is to be negotiated by the end of June.

Most of us avoid doing that so as to comply with the Admins requests about copyright infringement. However, here are a couple of key points worthy of discussion:
Quote:Both sides in the debate have spent the last 90 days developing scenarios for revamping the BCS, which would take effect when the current TV contracts expire after the 2006 bowls. Conference commissioners met to review the ideas in Atlanta two weeks ago and found virtually no common ground. On Sunday their respective university presidents and chancellors will gather at a Miami hotel to see if they can broker a compromise.
Quote:If the presidents fail to find common ground, the ramifications could be serious.
Cowen's group has threatened an antitrust suit if its concerns aren't addressed. That option is still on the table, the Tulane president said this week.
Congress has also threatened to intervene if the BCS doesn't become more inclusive. Last week the co-chairmen of the House Judiciary Committee wrote Cowen and Frohnmayer requesting a progress report on the matter.
But if the changes go further than BCS conferences want, any one of them could withdraw from the pact after 2005. Big Ten and Pac-10 officials are already unhappy over losing their traditional tie-in with the Rose Bowl.
Thanks Karl!!!!!!!!
Im glad.
I hate the BCS and I think it should go away forever!!!!
