Question: Would Eliminating BE BCS Status Help all Mid-Majors?

[Water Pony]

It occurred to me that the loss of BCS Status for the Big East would improve the circumstances for all non-BCS and Mid-Major schools.

By having a minority number of schools in BCS Conferences, the Mid-Majors could more favorably gain access to BCS opportunities or Play-offs, if they are created. With a majority of schools in the BCS, it would permit them to exclude the Mid-Major conferences deliberately without as much heat.

Thoughts?

There isn't anything in the BCS charter outlining membership, so it is a sticky point to begin with...

...if they lost BCS membership, I would like to see the Big East Champion, CUSA Champion and MWC Champion be subjected to the BCS Formula with the two highest scorers playing a BCS play-in game...

...the loser of the play-in game could play the other conference champion in a January bowl game.
