BCS Cartel strikes again.

Postby Caballo » Fri Aug 19, 2005 12:12 pm

I know there was another thread earlier regarding our (C-USA) losing the Liberty Bowl tie-in for our league champion. Did anyone read the article in the DMN about this today?

The most significant comment was made by the SEC Commish.

<The Liberty Bowl appears out, especially after SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said two weeks ago that he preferred his teams play other BCS conferences in bowl games.> Quote from the article.

Is it just me, or does that reek of collusion and anti-trust violations?

The Tulane president was rattling his sword a while back, wasn't he? I think maybe he got bought off.

its referred to "wimpism" or ...

the dictionary refers to it as the following:

Pronunciation Key: (wimp) Slang
n.
A person who is regarded as weak or ineffectual: “the impression that he is a colorless, indecisive wimp, and not a leader among men” (James J. Kilpatrick).
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

What really scares the SEC is for their #7 or #8 to play the CUSA champion and get their butts kicked in a bowl game. They would rather take their chances with the BE #4 or #5. What thrilling match-up those will be. Connecticut vs. South Carolina. Mississippi State vs. Rutgers. One can dream, and it of course keeps the money in the cartel. Nice to see another CUSA fail to deliver their local bowl game to the conference. UTEP, Memphis, SMU, and UCF are all looking rather puny right now.
