Why is there a "4 year review period" for BCS

inclusion?

I think this further illustrates the "lockout" nature of the BCS. They know that any given non-AQ team could have an upstart, banner year...BUT, to give an entire conference a 4 year evaluation period is absurd.

In the world of college athletics...you all know as well as I that there is a HUGE amount of turnover within a 4 year time span. Momentum, rankings, etc. are all so volatile that it is VERY difficult to maintain on 4 consequtive years.

Are the auto-bid conferences held to that standard else they are kicked out? However, it is the eastern majority that is the main vote casters...so, those conference's mid-to-lower teams will always receive favorable and more generous votes over our mid-to-lower end conference teams.

Even if we add BSU...we still will not qualify for an AQ conference.

Although I believe that the BCS is a thoroughly rotten conspiracy by a little over half the FBS conferences to hog most of the bowl money, I can see how a four year evaluation period makes sense. That is, unless one argues that all conferences, BCS as well as non-BCS should be evaluated every year with deadhead leagues thrown out and replaced by others for the coming season.

The real issue is that the BCS is a conspiracy totally at odds with the concept of amateur athletics.

Why 4 years? Because congress wouldn't accept 10 years.

Because "never" wouldn't stand up in court?
