dfwabel Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Oh great, we're gonna have to suffer through Joe Buck calling Pac-12 games?1- Joe Buck never called a BCS game for FOX when they had the BCS. Matt Vasgersian, Kenny Albert, Thom Brennaman were the leads for FOX while they had the BCS. 2-With FOX having the Pac-12 title game for this year, Barry and Petros are the leading candidates to call that game because of their familiarity with the schools. The Big Ten title game will probably have Thom since he is the lead guy on BTN, which is co-owned by News Corp. Barry Tompkins is under appreciated for his entire career.

dfwabel Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 In other news, Mark Cuban has begun his challenge of the BCS.He can cahllenge whatever he wants, but read the original source for all subsequent stories the San Diego Union Tribune.He has a LLC and one employee. That is all.Cuban wanting a playoff is more like him controlling a set of teams (defacto commissioner), which most likely take out amateurism as well since he as already talked about paying players.

dfwabel Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 He also just started the company yesterday, which probably explains why there is only one employee. Nice try, thanks for playing.He has had thought since he read "Death to the BCS", so all he is doing is brainstorming until the contract ends. He could be better placed if say he and his investors try to "buy" the NAIA, change it to his model, then ask teams to move affiliation. He already has content with the CBI on HDNet and has talked about "buying" athletic departments on local (DFW) radio multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Uh-oh...This ain't good. I wonder if Urban Meyer knew about this.Next year will Tressell somehow get a NFL job out of the blue?Tressel would be an awful NFL coach. I seriously doubt there's an NFL team out there who would be stupid enough to hire him as head coach. The pre-Holmgren Browns were that stupid but they were the only ones. Honestly, I was kind of hoping Tressel would get the axe and Ohio State would go all out to hire Urban Meyer. The more loony sports people around here always talk like Meyer is Tressel's natural successor. I have no idea why they think that but they do. Now was as good a time as any to find out if there's anything to it. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 In this new media world, the issue is that both Tressel and Bruce Pearl lied and the NCAA may not hand out suspensions if the school acts first. USC did not do this in the Reggie Bush case, and they got hit hard. Both tOSU and TEN are still to be debated, but I think that Pearl should have been fired.At YSU, Tressel did have Phar-Mor CEO Mickey Monus and his illegal activities backing the program. Which led YSU to give self-imposed sanctions.PBS "Frontline" on the Phar-Mor scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Remind me again why people defend the BCS?Money. Get rid of the bowls and you lose a lot of advertising revenue. Also, it kind of wins by default. A lot of people agree that there should be a playoff system, but no one can agree on what that system should look like. So the BCS, flawed as it may be, gets a lot of support for simply having an established system in place.

UConn and the other big schools took a bath this year because they had to buy up tens of thousands of "guaranteed" tickets at maximum overcharged value because alumni and fans could get better deals elsewhere.

Your national champion and runner up lost money playing for the title. I do not like a system where that is possible-especially when all too many athletic departments need to rely of student tuition payments and activity fees.
