The reason why the gov't is sticking their hands in it is b/c of money. The smaller schools are complaining b/c they are not given the same opportunity to win championships and to earn the big money as larger schools are given.

So where were the complaints before the BCS was formed. How come the major bowls (sugar, orange rose, fiesta) were never forced to invite these Mid-major teams in the past. The bowls have always had tie-ins and the bigger bowls were tied into the better conferences. Is congress going to force the Rose Bowl to be more inclusive and not let them invite the Pac-10 and Big-10 Champ. This whole thing is stupid. All conferences are not equal. Not every conference deserves an automatic BCS bid. Utah was not denied a shot at the title. They simply did not finish 1 or 2 in the final BCS poll. How many ranked teams did they play prior to the bowl game compared to the other teams that played in the BCS. I'd be willing to be they played fewer ranked teams than most of the others.
