Today’s overheated rhetoric award goes to this blogger.
No doubt the BCS formula has its share of flaws – and there’s nothing like a little dose of hindsight to make your case against the BCS sound even stronger – but this is about as cringeworthy as it gets:
The point is that the college football community is being denied their right to a true national champion determined by fair competition in a playoff format, in the name of money and prejudice.
This system is so unfair it almost seems like a violation of players’, coaches’, and fans’ civil rights. It is a system controlled by financial dominance and discrimination, much like the corrupt legal systems of Southern states that figures like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. faced head-on in the 1960s.
So when will college football’s version of MLK arise, take action, and completely transform the landscape of college football?
Yes, when? It can’t be too soon – our rights are being trampled every day! The masses are being oppressed!
Brothers and sisters, I look forward to the day when “financial dominance” is no longer at the heart of what controls college football’s postseason.
You know, like all the other sports that have playoffs.
Utterly ridiculous. I posted something a while back re: just how much it would cost to attend these playoff games. A playoff will actually shut out the average fan. How many average fans go to the Super Bowl?
