Today, Tony Barnhart asks the musical question “Where is it written that the BCS is SUPPOSED to be fair?” It’s a good response to Orrin Hatch’s socialism (sorry, couldn’t resist).
Here’s his money point:
But to say these conferences are the victims of “revenue discrimination” (I’ve got to write that one down for future use) is to presume they had a pre-existing claim to the BCS money pool that is somehow being denied.
That is a totally separate issue from whether dear ol’ Mid-Major U deserves to play for the national title. We’ll have a much more sensible national playoff debate when more folks recognize that. Not that I’m holding my breath – for a lot of people, the playoff debate is merely a cover for directing increased revenue distribution to places like San Diego State.
I think it is actually ironic – as opposed to a coincidence – that Solid Republican Orrin Hatch has an axe to grind for his own entitlement program. ;)
“Revenue discrimination”? Hmmmmmm.
Kinda like how the large companies give millions to King & Spalding to represent them and I make mere hundreds representing meth dealers from Arcade. Curse them and their revenue discrimination.
[sigh]… and I remember when stump liquor was the contraband of choice in Arcade. You can’t stop progress, I guess.
Orrin needs to get Dale Peterson to walk point during this “revenue discrimination” battle

After all, during Dale’s time as a bad ass MP, he’s been all the way from San Juan to Camp LeJeune to Parris Island

And during Orrin’s time as a bad ass dandy, he’s been all the way from Phoenix to Sedona chasing the white rabbit
You need to find meth dealers with more money.
“And how much justice can you afford?”
If “fair” means money distribution based on what you put IN, the SEC needs to get more not less. Also, if you want to talk “fair” distribution, how can Vandy and Mississippi State ever justify getting a full share from the SEC? They hardly ever play in a bowl and have never played in a BCS bowl.
