Wow, how petty. Don't they have more urgent issues to deal with then this?

Considering how 'great' of a job congress does when it takes on important issues, we're all better off if their attention is focused on lesser things like this.

My reading on the issue led me to believe that the bill in question would prevent an organization from making money off of a 'National Champion' when said champion was decided by a method OTHER than a playoff. It would not mandate a playoff in Division 1A football (screw that 'FBS' BS). 1A could keep their BCS system, but could not name any team as 'National Champion'.

Yes.

So big woopeee, just call them "World Champions"or College Super Bowl Champions.

Stupid bill.

Not going anywhere.

Yes, likely because Texas feels it got hosed.
