BCS to leave FOX for...ESPN?
ADVERTS 1
I was on awful announcing.com and they had a story about the BCS moving from FOX to ESPN. Here's the article link from sportingnews.com. The BCS moving would be huge news moving from FOX to ESPN. I never really liked BCS on FOX. I mean they don't show games ALL year and then they show the BCS Title Game. Well, anyway, here's the link.

CBS or NBC would have been better, IMO.

This has been coming since the illegal BcS cartel started playing after New Years Day. The suits killed a wonderful day of 4 to 6 meaningful bowl games and replaced it with a sting of regualr work-a-day night games on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and I think it now goes to the 8th or so. Other than the "championship" the other games are just consolation contests, played in basketball season, that are no more interesting than any other regular season game.
Its not to late to go back to what worked.

I don't think the Fiesta Bowl wants to go back to a 1PM kickoff and I know the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl don't want to air opposite each other anymore. You want to make these games more meaningful? Create a playoff. Otherwise the Rose Bowl is a meaningful as the Tournament of Roses parade. Originally Posted by SamCdbs

I'm surprised so many people agree with me about the BCS. I'm a firm believer that all the games should end on Jan. 1. Go back to the way it used to be. Maybe not everyone will like it but if FOX, the BCS or anyone else tinkers with the already flawed BCS system, the BCS Title game won't be played until February!!!

I look for it to eventually be between the NFL playoff and the Super Bowl week. Originally Posted by Mets82

47 if a Big Ten team were to get into it this year, and they even had a week or two off during the season.

You can have bowl game, or playoffs, not both. Most of these misguided playoff schemes involve something like "make this that and the other bowl the quarters, and so on until the Rose Bowl is the final." It will not work.
- It will destroy the greatest regular season in sports.
- Fans, particularly in states w/o pro sports, base their holidays around a SINGLE mid-winter trip to a bowl game. They are not and cannot travel on six days notice during regular work day weeks three or four times.
- People in the pro cites these games are played in are not going to pay what bowls charge to see a quarterfinal game in mid-December.
Go back to what worked. End the season on New Year's Day and get out the round ball.
