Politicians - "Congress Out of Its League on BCS"
At Townhall.com, George Will writes about the latest:
" Rep. Joe Barton, who considers the BCS part of the axis of evil, is incandescent, and prepared. Last January, this 13-term Republican, whose district includes Cowboys Stadium and nearly nuzzles TCU in Fort Worth, introduced the College Football Playoff Act of 2009, which says: It shall be unlawful to 'promote, market, or advertise' a postseason Division I football game as a national championship game unless it is 'the final game of a single elimination post-season playoff system' for which all Division I teams are, at the beginning of the season, equally eligible. Barton believes in limited government, but not so limited that it cannot right outrageous wrongs, such as the absence of a playoff. Bipartisanship lives: Barack Obama, who wants to fix everything -- health care, the climate, the pothole on your street, college football -- also wants a playoff."
