What's this?

No, read “Death to the BCS.”

The much larger pie of TV money allocated more equitably would more than offset that 12th game if team were required to go to a 11-game schedule.

The whole strategy of the cartel conferences when designing the BCS and now the playoff was to create marketing differentiation with barriers to entry. In other words, their strategy was to create a cartel or monopoly that could be used to corner most of the TV revenue and create recruiting and facility advantages. This is not rocket science. I have no idea why some of our fans can’t understand when this topic comes up. I’m sure the leaders of the cartel laugh at how our fans go along with this charade.
