A congressman said he plans to investigate testimony from Alamo Bowl executive director Derrick Fox at this month’s Bowl Championship Series subcommittee hearing after learning that Fox might have exaggerated by millions of dollars the amount bowl games donate to local charities.
Fox, while representing all 34 bowl games during his appearance on Capitol Hill on May 1, claimed in his argument against a playoff that “almost all the postseason bowl games are put on by charitable groups” and “local charities receive tens of millions of dollars every year.”
In fact, 10 bowl games are privately owned and one is run by a branch of a local government. The remaining 23 games enjoy tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, but combined to give just $3.2 million to local charities on $186.3 million in revenue according to their most recent federal tax records and interviews with individual bowl executives.

House committee hears BCS official
A congressman who wants to see college football adopt a playoff system is comparing the Bowl Championship Series to communism.
Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas said Friday that efforts to tinker with the BCS are bound to fail. He told a House hearing that the BCS is like communism and can't be fixed.
Barton has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from labeling a game a national championship unless it's the outcome of a playoff system.
The coordinator of the BCS told the panel Friday that a switch to a playoff system -- favored by fans, President Barack Obama and some lawmakers -- would threaten the existence of celebrated bowl games.
Sponsorships and TV revenue that now go to bowl games would instead be spent on playoff games, "meaning that it will be very difficult for any bowl, including the current BCS bowls, which are among the oldest and most established in the game's history, to survive," BCS coordinator John Swofford said in prepared testimony. "Certainly the 29 games that are not part of the BCS would be in peril."
Swofford was appearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee's commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee, some of whose members back legislation aimed at prodding the BCS to switch to a playoff system.
Under the BCS, some conferences get automatic bids to participate, and others do not. Conferences that get an automatic bid -- the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-10 and SEC -- get about $18 million each, far more than the non-conference schools. Swofford is also commissioner of the ACC.
Craig Thompson, commissioner of the Mountain West Commission, which does not get an automatic bid, said in prepared testimony that the current system is patently unfair.
"Such economic disparities and anomalies cannot be justified and should not continue," he said. "Many have said the current BCS system ensures a permanent underclass. They are right."
The MWC has proposed a playoff system and hired a Washington firm to lobby Congress for changes to the BCS, which currently features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer ratings.
The MWC proposes, among others things, scrapping the BCS standings and creating a 12-member committee to pick which teams receive at-large bids, and to select and seed the eight teams chosen for the playoff. The BCS has previously discussed, and dismissed, the idea of using a selection committee.
The four current BCS games -- the Sugar, Orange, Rose and Fiesta bowls -- would host the four first-round playoff games under the proposal. Thompson argued that a playoff system would be a boon for those bowls, because they would help determine the national champion.
Thompson said that under the current system, teams that don't come from a conference with a guaranteed bid have no realistic chance of winning a BCS championship.
Swofford argued that criticism that the BCS guarantees berths and money to only some conferences "states the situation exactly backward." Prior to the BCS, he said, the conferences that now have automatic bids were guaranteed an attractive bowl slot for its champion.
"If the BCS were to disappear tomorrow, each of those conferences would return to the marketplace and obtain a similarly attractive bowl slot on its own through individual negotiation, most likely in one of the current BCS games," he said. But there would no longer be guaranteed annual bowl game pairing the top two ranked teams.
The BCS is in its final season of a four-year deal with the Fox network. A new four-year deal with ESPN, worth $125 million per year, begins with the 2011 bowl games.
The BCS has come under attack from a range of politicians. Last November, then President-elect Obama told "60 Minutes" he would prefer an eight-team playoff system.
"I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this," he said then. "So I'm going to throw my weight around a little bit."
In the Senate, Utah Republican Orrin Hatch has put the BCS on the agenda for the Judiciary's antitrust subcommittee this year, and Utah's attorney general, Mark Shurtleff, is investigating whether the BCS violates federal antitrust laws.
Fans were furious that Utah was bypassed for the national championship despite going undefeated in the regular season. The title game pitted No. 1 Florida (12-1) against No. 2 Oklahoma (12-1); Florida won 24-14 and claimed the title.

Rep. Barton introduces Bill to Scrap BCS
Congressman Joe Barton (R-Arlington/Ennis) issued the following statement after introducing a bill to eliminate the Bowl Championship Series:
"The Energy and Commerce Committee is vested with the responsibility for overseeing sports, and that includes the current process for determining a national college football champion: the BCS system. College football is more than an exhilarating sport, it’s a billion-dollar business. I’m introducing legislation today because despite every effort to fix the problems of BCS, college seasons still end in sniping and controversy, rather than clear winners and losers determined on the field.
“The BCS system was created to identify a broadly accepted national champion, but 50 percent of the time it has failed to do so. Most coaches who lose half their games would also lose their jobs. Yet that's what we settle for in determining a champion today.
“The BCS system of determining America's top collegiate team was established in 1998 and has been plagued by controversy almost ever since. In some years the sport's national championship winner was left unsettled, and at least one school was left out of the many millions of dollars in revenue that accompany the title. Despite repeated efforts to improve the system, the controversy rages on.
“In the 2003 season, the University of Oklahoma and Louisiana State University were selected to play in the title game, even though the University of Southern California arguably had an equal claim. LSU beat Oklahoma and USC also won its bowl game, leaving both schools claiming be national champions and further chafing millions of college football fans, especially USC alumni. As a direct result of LSU's selection by BCS, the school's merchandise sales in both 2003 and 2004 were more than double previous levels, producing millions of dollars in additional revenue for the school.
“In the 2004 season, again three equally qualified and, in this case, undefeated teams -- Auburn, Oklahoma and USC -- fought for the two slots in the title game, which once again produced an uneven outcome as USC defeated Oklahoma handily. Auburn won its game, but had no opportunity to play for a national championship and the millions of dollars that accompany it.
“This year, we again have two teams with one loss each playing for the ‘championship’ while two undefeated teams and four additional teams with only one loss will play in bowl games, but none can become ‘champion.’
"The distinction of being the best brings millions of dollars in revenue, but the BCS method of determining who is number one consistently misfires. When we held our first hearing on BCS in 2005, I didn't have legislation in mind, and I hoped none would be necessary. Simply exposing the flaws and subjecting them to discussion, however, hasn’t led to improvement by those who run the system.”
“The legislation I am introducing along with Congressmen Bobby Rush and Michael McCaul recognizes the flaws of this system. Consumers, whether the millions who watch the game on TV or the lucky few who pay for a ticket to the computer-designated ‘championship’ game, are being deceived. The BCS championship game is not a championship game under any sensible interpretation of the manner in which sports champions are determined.
“The legislation we are introducing today will prohibit the marketing, promotion, and advertising of a post-season game as a ‘national championship’ football game, unless it is the result of a playoff system. Violations of the prohibition will be treated as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act as an unfair or deceptive act or practice, and provides the FTC with civil penalty authority.
“The legislation does not specify the details of the playoff system, rather only that all Division I, Football Bowl Subdivision, teams should be initially eligible at the start of every season. The existing bowl structure could easily be incorporated into or as the basis for such a playoff system.
“We’re never going to abolish all controversy, and who’d really want to be rid of it, anyway? People will argue about who should be in and out of playoffs, too, but I am confident when more of the most deserving teams can compete, a true national champion is much likelier to emerge.”

Gators win BCS, but are they No. 1?
By Gene Wojciechowski
ESPN.com
MIAMI -- This is all your fault, USC. If you hadn't thrown up on your thigh pads at Oregon State on Sept. 25, the national championship debate wouldn't be tied up in square knots.
Instead, we're still stuck wondering whether we have the right team getting fitted for title rings.
Is it the University of Tebow, which beat Oklahoma on Thursday night to claim the BCS championship?
Is it Utah, the only undefeated team in the country?
Is it one-loss Texas, which still can't believe it got squeezed out of the BCS title game?
Or is it one-loss USC, which pile-drived Penn State in the Rose Bowl and probably stole the glasses off JoePa's statue, too? But -- sigh -- the Trojans couldn't beat Oregon State for the second time in three seasons.
And the answer is …
Who knows for sure?
I know who'd get my vote: Florida, but with an asterisk the size of Tebow's heart.
The Gators won a crystal trophy, but the victory over OU was as artistic as a finger painting. It isn't the first time a BCS Championship Game didn't live up to the hype. No shame there.
The difference is that there are three other teams that think they deserved a confetti shower -- or at least the chance to have played for a national title. So what would the Gators say to Utah, Texas and USC?
"Sorry you can't be here," said Florida defensive end Carlos Dunlap, who was named the defensive player of the game.
"Good luck next year," defensive tackle Lawrence Marsh said.
Controversy? The Gators didn't notice any controversy after the 24-14 win.
"I think our résumé speaks for itself," wide receiver David Nelson said. "In my opinion, we are national champions."
In Utah's opinion, Florida has one more loss than the Utes' tally, which was zero. Florida ran the table in October, November, December and January. Utah ran the season.
In Texas' opinion, Florida has the same number of losses as the Longhorns (one), the same number of wins against Oklahoma (one) and the same margin of victory against the Sooners (10). But Texas' victory came on a neutral field and the Gators essentially played a home game at Dolphin Stadium. Even UF coach Urban Meyer admitted as much afterward.
In USC's opinion, Florida has the same number of losses, but not the same momentum or same talent. After all, remember Pete Carroll's dis of Florida and Oklahoma after the Trojans' Rose Bowl win? Said Carroll: "With all due respect, those are two great programs, I don't think anybody can beat the Trojans."
Carroll isn't the only one who thinks so. The problem is that we'll never know whether USC would have beaten Florida or Oklahoma. Probably? Maybe? Maybe not?
"We saw the two best teams in America go after each other," said Meyer in the wee hours of Friday morning -- and he wasn't talking about USC as one of the two.
Meyer has a tendency to exaggerate. Then again, he has earned the right after winning two BCS championships in the past three years. Anyway, Meyer said this was "one of the greatest college football games that's occurred."
Not for the first 2½ quarters it wasn't. It was intensely played, that's for sure. But four interceptions -- two thrown by Tebow, two by Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford (they had a combined eight INTs for the entire regular season) -- isn't great. Eight Florida penalties (including three false starts by left tackle Phil Trautwein) isn't great. And let's not even talk about the ACC officiating crew.
Tebow is what we'll remember about the 2008 BCS championship. Tebow and, of course, Florida's defense, which held Oklahoma's record-breaking offense to a season-low 14 points (49 points below OU's 63-point average in the Sooners' previous five games).
The Gators made two crucial first-half red zone stands, a fourth-down stop at the UF 1-yard line and an interception at the UF 3-yard line. And, with 9:59 left in the fourth quarter and OU trailing by only a field goal, Florida safety Ahmad Black ensured he'll never have to buy a dinner in Gainesville in decades to come. He won a wrestling match for a Bradford pass meant for OU receiver Juaquin Iglesias.
"The play of the game," Meyer said.
Afterward, Gators offensive guard Carl Johnson cupped the BCS crystal football with his right hand and hammed it up for a semicircle of photographers.
"What pose you want?" he said.
They wanted Johnson to do a Heisman pose, so he made like his quarterback Tebow. Then somehow the crystal was handed to a man in a wheelchair. Just as the guy cradled the trophy, a University of Florida police officer snatched it away from him and gave it to Meyer.
Meyer would say later that the Gators are "one of the best football teams I've ever had the privilege to be around." But are they the true national champions?
"Absolutely," linebacker Brandon Spikes said.
"No doubt in my mind," Marsh said.
There's doubt at Utah, Texas and USC. Otherwise, after a weird game and an even weirder season, this Florida victory is going to have to do. Just what 2008 deserved.

BCS coordinator: System in compliance
Read this garbage
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls08/news/story?id=3818921
So let me get this straight, the Commissioner from the weakest BCS conference is saying the BCS is legit? What a surpise! Who has the most to lose by going to a playoff system? The Big East and the ACC, because while they have plenty of decent teams, we all know they have absolutely no title contenders. So of course the ACC is going to say the BCS is fine, they get millions from their bowl game that is a joke every year. To me that's the evidence that the BCS is illegal, even though VT and Cincy are weaker teams, because they are in a BCS conference they have a better shot at getting to a BCS game and making millions.
The bottom line is - you dont know whether team A can beat team B unless there's a playoff. Let's stop being like figure skating where people vote, and start settling on the field with a playoff!
