True to what seems to be a trend on this blog, I have been posting about a wide range of topics. From a local economic impact study, to the Middle East, and now college football, I won’t even try to write something that ties them together.
On my drive into work today I enjoyed, again, listening to Frank Deford share spot-on commentary about the NCAA. As a college football fan that stayed up way too late last night to watch yet another bowl game with no real implications, and as an employee at a NCAA school, I am still open-minded enough to see that Frank is right on the money when it comes to the ridiculous weaknesses of the BCS.
Here, comparing the BCS to the Holy Roman Empire, he again paints a picture of what happens when great traditions of yesterday are ruined by the pursuit of massive profits today.
Maybe some day I’ll make a post about how to fix it…wait…I think I have time to do that now.
Playoffs.
