BCS/AQ conferences want more...

[SDSU-Alum2003]

SEC wants to increase the number of schools allowed in the BCS bowls. The current limit is 2. Talk about greed and wanting to keep all the money... come on! Another example of the man (the big 6 conferences) keeping us (SDSU/MWC) down.

Only if they drop the minimum of the 6 AQs from 1 to 0. The third place team in the SEC will be way better than the BE champ. With Syracuse and Pitt leaving, and maybe UConn, the BE has to lose their AQ status.

They are going to have to add another BCS game.

Here's the final regular-season BCS standings for 2010:
1. Auburn
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. Stanford
5. Wisconsin
6. Ohio State
7. Oklahoma
8. Arkansas
9. Michigan State
10. LSU

SEC: 3
Big 10: 3
Pac-10: 2
MWC: 1
Big 12: 1
ACC: 0
Big East: 0
WAC: 0 (Boise St was 11)
C-USA, MAC, Sunbelt, Independents: 0

I wouldn't really have a problem with 3 teams from a league if they're all in the top 10. What I object to is #13 VA Tech (no team with a FCS loss should be in a BCS game) and outside the top 25 UConn getting big paydays just because they're in AQ conferences. West Virginia was #22, but didn't get the BE AQ slot.

It still doesn't change the fact that the only way a MWC team can play in a BCS bowl game is by going undefeated. Now, if them increasing the teams keeps an undefeated MWC team out, then we have a HUGE problem.

The SEC is doing us and the MW a favor. They are forcing the issue. The SEC wants a playoff......the Big 10 does not. Who's running the show?

The big boys aren't making enough coin. Only something like $22 million per year in football revenue now for Texas. That's not enough since they haven't caught God yet.

Texas football revenue is more than that. The Big 12 TV contract is $90 mil a year. Texas gets at least $9 mil of that. The ESPN LongHorn Network pays them $15 mil. Ticket sales and away game revenues, shared BCS and bowl money net Texas $36+ million a year in football revenues.
