Congress on the BCS?

[vurbano]

Have they gone too far? Is this really what we pay them to do?

I agree that the government has no reason to get into college football.

[vurbano]

Shouldnt they be solving the swine flu, Pakistan, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, the recession and GM???

[msmith198025]

Lots of things but the frickin BCS.

I am trying to see where they can justify even looking at this. I dont see it.

And I am one that REALLY wants a playoff of some sort. A plus one would be great. Top four would solve MOST debates every year.

It seems like the government is screwing up every single aspect of life in this country.

yeah and they employ you!

I don't care who does it, Congress or someone else, but we need a playoff system!! The BCS is ultimately decided by a computer algorithm and a handful of coaches, both have proven to unfairly represent Cinderella teams.

I do agree that Congress has more important things to do though...

Personally I'd rather Congress be looking at the BCS, instead of passing more laws to screw things up. ;)

If only we had enough sports to keep these idiots busy. Maybe some red rover investigations for elementary schools next.

I agree with this 100%
They should get enough to cover the basics on living in DC or cover travel from their home to there. Then a salary, not too outrageous. That is it. Two terms max

Instead, make the state legislatures responsible for paying for that state's congressmen & senators.

Very good idea. That way they can't all get together washington and vote themselves a raise.

If I remember correctly, they don't vote themselves yearly raises anymore. The people complained too much so they made a cost of living adjustment automatic.
