Abstract

Among the myriad values that shape the great American landscape, equal opportunity and fair play stand as fundamental. The Bowl Championship Series’ (“BCS”) method of determining college football’s national champion undermines these core principles. Formed in 1998, the BCS’s objective was to improve the system of crowning college football’s national champion. In pursuit of its goal, however, the BCS has failed; rather, it has done nothing but create yearly controversy. This acrimony transcends universities, conferences, fan bases, and even political parties, and there is a needed “change” to which opposite ends of the political spectrum can agree.
