I tried to check myself. It's not bitter, as much as funny human nature for wanting to change things when they start not working. I criticized Haney for similar hypocrisy earlier this week and have been regularly critical of USC for touting our record of never playing lower division teams....as if that's ever done anything for us and a realizing that the Pac has plenty of weak teams year in and year out. It just seems that with every change, it's more about finding the best formula for manipulating schedules, rather than finding the best team through solid competition. Every conference is guilty of stupid shit.
Nothing that cuts into profits will ever take place . Conference Divisions + Conference Games = $ University Presidents don't give a rats ass about competitive integrity , the fans, player safety, or even if the big fat right guard is going to class. They want to make money.
If the power conferences come about and they will, all this 'they're our biggest rivalry our fans would not not tolerate losing that annual game' Bullshit that the Sister fuckers keep laying on about playing the Vols would have to go. It would become a completely systemic structured formula based on rotation and previous year' record with a couple of other standardized requirements similar to what NFL does. A lot of tradition and passion would be lost but at same time LSU won't get buttfucked having to play UF and Sister Fuckers every year.
Yeah but you can't stop progress and in this case it's spelled P R O G R E $ $. Look at Emmerts comments. They're already talking expanding to 8. They sniff money. They will fuck up college football in the interest of making a buck.
Eight is aight, 16 would kill the bowls. I think there is a balancing act that stops at 8. But we're talking about folks who've elected to use a committee (to their credit, Washington squeeked in).
They're slowly making season irrelevant with playoff expansion. All that will matter is the tourney. That's what killed college round ball. Personally I liked the BCS- throw it in a computer. Nothing in my work experience ever saw anything good ever come out of a committee.
