While it would be a strong conference from a quality perspective, it just doesn't have the TV dollars. Nice thought though.

Thus taking all the top non-BCS programs and cutting us out even further. If MWC goes BCS, non-BCS is even worse off.

Expanding to 12 and gaining a BCS automatic bid is nonsensical. One doesn't have anything to do with the other.

Wouldn't Americans generally not want a socialistic system? Better to let the free market decide. If some schools have been able to gain a competitive edge, why should an outside force step in to penalize them for the entrepreneurial spirit?

umm-because its not a free market and is illegal. A free market does not allow competitors to conspire to exclude competitors. Any other questions?

As someone whose family has been on these shores for more than 380 years, allow me to say not by my choice have we taken such a regrettable turn.

Well we have.
And I heard today from a reliable source that our fearless leader's Dad is a Communist.

The BCS is not socialism.... that is pure commerical greed the rich conferences get richer and the poor get the cold shoulder.

As the % of persons from socialistic countries go up (central america, post WWII europe) socialist politics in this country goes up.
If only we could adjust voting power based on how long your ancestors have been citizens.....

Uhhh....if everyone has finished claiming their piece of the friggin plymouth rock (as if that matters - what are we - Bristish?) .....let me just say that the BCS cartel (which is not free market capitalism by the way) is not letting in the MWC. For those already in the cartel - the MWC would bring nothing new to the party except extra pig mouths in the trough.

It would shut up all the schools who have had a legit complaint about their bowl games coming from non-BCS conferences, thus helping to keep the system from takign more public criticism.
