BCS shafted Mizzou and the fans....

The paltry sums that are now awarded to colleges would pale in comparison to a playoff system.

That is what it would take.
Because the NCAA has no desire whatsoever for a playoff system.
And the paltry sums are paltry for the big schools.

The International Bowl in balmy Canada on Saturday (you deftly left this big game of your big bowl contest) will give a very nice amount of money to Rutgers and Ball State. They would never see this money in a playoff system.

The payoff for the international bowl is $750k per team, which is before expenses. They would make more money if they held a bake sale.

These teams will make money.
Plane tickets and hotel rooms etc... paid for.
They would never have been in a playoff.

Not true. I just read where Ohio State LOST money last year and that was being in the national championship game. If I can find it I will post it.

They dont have to play in the playoff to benefit. Like the NCAA basketball tourney, the conferences would all get a slice which would be divided up among all the teams. Why do you think there are 340 Division 1 basketball teams? For the tourney money. Even the **** sack conferences get a piece of the action.

In the system I want they would still be in the exact same bowl!

So you can assure San Antonio that it will get a Big 12 and a Big 10 team and fill the Alamo Bowl, which now happens every year?

If you got that plan, you need to get it to the guys who put the Bowl's on for the various cities. I am sure the NCAA will go along once the money going to right sources.

Absolutely, that wouldn't be a problem at all. The Bowls stay intact cause the first two rounds of the playoffs occur before the Bowl season and eliminated teams can play in the bowls. If anything the Alamo Bowl might luck out and get better teams from the B10 or B12 some year if no team from those conferences make the final four and only one is selected by the other BCS bowls.

you need to submit this now to all college presidents, thats where you gotta start. It has to be good because they got to talk to convince Cannon's white guys in the nice little polyester suits. The TV is sure to follow along if you get these parties on board.
