The BCS is corrupt!!

What is more important, impending recession or college football?

Of course the answer is college football. The economy will work itself out, or so said Adam Smith (pray for the deliverance of the invisible hand). 

Three members of Congress have taken it upon themselves to "determine if the BCS is an illegal enterprise".  The three Congressmen (from Hawaii, Idaho, and Georigia) "are introducing a resolution rejecting the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games." 

Neil Abercrombie, the representative from Hawaii, asked, "Who elected these NCAA people? Who are they to decide who competes for the championship?" Who indeed Mr. Abercrombie, who indeed. 

Abercrombie is bringing his complaints to Congress after his Hawaii Rainbow Warriors were left out of the BCS Championship game last year. Really Mr. Abercrombie? You believe Hawaii should have been in the championship game, even after what happened in the Sugar Bowl... Really? One of Abercrombie's major goals in life is to lift 200 lbs more than his age on each birthday. We all have dreams, Neil Abercrombie just wants to be Lou Ferrigno aka the original Hulk.

You don't want to make Neil Abercrombie angry BCS. You won't like him when he's angry.

The other two representatives, Lynn Westmoreland from Georgia and Mike Simpson from Idaho, have somewhat reasonable claims. Westmoreland, the guy from the Colbert Report that couldn't name the Ten Commandments after sponsoring a bill requiring their display in the House of Representatives,  still has his righteous underoos in a bunch about his Georgia Bulldogs being left out of the championship game last year. Shouldn't have lost two games Lynn. Simpson is still super pissed off about Boise State being left out in 2006. I'm sorry Mr. Simpson, but nobody cares about Idaho and its .5 people (or 1 midget) per square mile. 

The three representatives are basically just repeating what we (the college football fanbase) knew all along. The BCS is a flawed system and finding a "true champion" hardly ever happens. Maybe taking it before Congress will get something done (doubtful). Luckily, Congress isn't busy with a war or trying to save our supposed dying economy. Because spending months on steroid allegations and trying to fix a broken system in college football might distract them from those non-existent problems. 

Quick question, where is the representatives from Alabama? The Auburn nation has not forgotten or forgiven anyone for the royal screwing received in 2004. My theory is that all our representatives are Alabama fans. Only one way to fix that, vote Charles Barkley for governor 2010.
