So I checked MGoBlog today to see if there was anything new about Michigan and got sucked into a thouroughly entertaining discussion about the ongoing race for space. I only have a limited time each day, and this thread took all of it. Thanks to all who shared their insight. Sadly, what reminded me I had to get back to work was reading a bunch of engineers argue about the use of PR. If you are an engineer. stick to deisgning the rockets. |

I can't support the conference champions only argument when you have the opportunity to have bad teams win the conference (K-State, UCLA, Georgia come to mind). I also think teams from other conferences than the big 4 need to have a chance. Having the "smaller teams" get a chance to compete on the big stage is one of the things that makes March Madness so awesome. So I propose the following. The 4 highest ranked teams, but only one from each conference. This maintains the competitiveness of the whole season as well as the championship games. It gives everyone a fair chance. You could argue there could still be a conference bias in voting, but it only affects 25% of the potential slots. |
| 1 week 1 day ago | What's sooooo stupid about |
What's sooooo stupid about this issue is the ability for individual schools athletic departments to make profits from bowls is variable. The years the B1G has been able to send two teams to BCS bowls (average payout of $18 mil/game) and an additional 4 teams to the bowl tie-in's then yes, there is probably enough money to cover all of the bowl expenses and have a little profit left over for each individual athletic department. But the years the B1G only sends one team to the BCS, I bet no school makes a profit other than the ones who are staying home. Guh!!!

As a fan this is sad to say, but here are a few realities to accept: 1) This is a business to those making the decisions. This is a passion for the rest of us. #1 rule of making good business decisions, don't bring emotion into it. 2) Fans will travel to the semi-final games. It's your chance to see your team play in the final four. Besides, you know your team will be playing in that game, there are no garauntees about the next game. 3) The Championship game will become like the Super Bowl. i.e. most of the people attending will not be true fans of the school but the elite few who can afford to attend a premier event. This has basically already happened. To be blunt, corporations buy seats to events like this, not people. As said as it is to say, it's easier to fleece corporations than it is fans. And, no, do not bring your fans will pay for anything argument here. There is a much higher threshold for spending by corporations vs indivisuals. 4) Whether we like it or not the SEC, and even to a small degree the Big 12, has more clout at the table than the B1G does right now. There was a time the B1G would have gotten anything they wanted in these negotiations, that time has passed, and believe me, the other conferences have not forgotten it. So if you want to guess what the future format will be, you can make a pretty good bet it will: 1) be what is in the best interest of the SEC/Big12 and 2) what generates the most money. Not for the schools, but for all the associated entities which surround college football (TV, sponsorships, Bowl committees, advertisers, etc). For without the money that gets funneled into all these things, the schools get nothing. I hate being an adult. |

Please people, how could you overlook the obvious. Denard is so fast, you can only see the 1 on his jersey because the 6 is still stuck in the space time continuum. Duh.
edit: please wear the traditional jersey to go up against 'Bama. Please, I beg of you. You do not need jersey gimmicks when two great programs are on the field at the same time. |
