Don't Expect Bcs Changes

Summary


Regarding Boise State's win against Oklahoma, your editorial (Jan. 3) states, "The BCS can't ignore this." Well, of course they can! Why wouldn't they? The BCS is a relatively unregulated monopoly. Its schools receive the lion's share of TV revenues, media coverage and notoriety. This gives them a tremendous advantage in terms of resources and recruiting. Why would any BCS team voluntarily give up those perks?

Occasionally, the BCS is forced to open its clubhouse door and throw a bone to undefeated, nonaffiliated schools, such as Utah or Boise State. Nevertheless, as soon as the glow of the recent Fiesta Bowl faded, the clubhouse door to the BCS slammed shut. A Division 1- A playoff must be instituted. However, it is naive to expect meaningful change to come from within the BCS, or even from the NCAA.
