Nothing to do
It seems as if they have run out of things to do. We are paying them each over $160,000 per year and they have nothing to do. When non-governmental entities find themselves in this situation, they usually start looking at layoffs…
Congressman Calls Hearing, Says BCS “Deeply Flawed” HOUSTON (AP) - Calling the Bowl Championship Series “deeply flawed,” the chairman of a congressional committee has called a hearing on the controversial system used to determine college football’s national champion.
A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, charged with regulating America’s sports industry, announced Friday it will conduct a hearing on the BCS next week, after this season’s bowl matchups are determined.
“College football is not just an exhilarating sport, but a billion-dollar business that Congress cannot ignore,” said committee Chairman Joe Barton, a Texas Republican. Barton’s panel is separate from the House Government Reform panel that tackled steroids in baseball.
The committee announcement called the hearing, scheduled for next Wednesday, a “comprehensive review” of the BCS and postseason college football.
We have a president with no clue, an economy going to hell, a bankrupt country, a war we are losing… and they want to talk about college football.
It’s time to start handing out pink slips.
