BCS Voting

Lately my blogs have focused more on a variety of sports, but today I would like to talk more about College Football today. College football has always been popular around the country, including both students and adults. College football is obviously a form of entertainment, but most people don’t really understand how much money these Universities are getting from their College football programs. A lot of money does come from endorsement deals, but the fans that attend the games and buy memorabilia or even watch on TV bring a small amount of revenue as well to the Universities. With this being said, I think college football should respect the notion that people all around the country want to see their team have a fair shot at the National Championship. Every year in College Football there is at least one team that has a great year and has to settle for a secondary crown because of the BCS voting. A playoff bracket very similar to the NFL would suit College football with positive results. The only reason they don’t do this is because they get so much money from all the endorsement deals that come with having bowl games. For example, TCU who has run the table and has stayed undefeated all year cannot get a shot at the National Championship because the voters won’t vote them in because their lack of schedule. First off, these teams don’t pick who they play and shouldn’t be scrutinized for it. Secondly, how can you even begin as a head coach to tell your players who had worked so hard all year that they fell a little short and won’t get the grand stage against a larger school such as the Florida Gators. I personally feel that this has to change and money shouldn’t ruin the sport of College football anymore. If anybody wants to play devil advocate, I’d like to hear why you enjoy the way College football is run at this very moment. Thank you
