And the College World Series. And the FCS playoffs. <BR/><BR><BR><BR/>I've been around big time college athletics too, and I agree with your point that it's hard to be a real student-athlete. <BR/><BR><BR><BR/>But three points: <BR/><BR><BR><BR/>(1) A college football playoff would happen at least in part over the winter break. So the cost in terms of lost class time would be small. <BR/><BR><BR><BR/>(2) The student-athlete ship sailed a long time ago. You're at USC, for crying out loud --- how many of your football players have a real major? Again, this means the cost in terms of lost class time is small. <BR/><BR><BR><BR/>(3) College football is the only sport I can think of where there are teams that literally cannot win the championship regardless of what they do. Utah and Boise State could win every game they play for the next ten years... and still never be named national champ. This violates basic fairness, which is a value that the NCAA purports to share. <BR/><BR><BR><BR/>The real reason we don't have a playoff can be found in the work of last year's Nobel Prize winner, Roger Myerson. The bargaining between the BCS and non-BCS conferences features asymmetric information. Even though there are obvious gains from trade, the bargaining fails.Scott Schaeferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287867499714637779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33399132.post-18309338776889663512008-12-04T09:26:00.000-08:002008-12-04T09:26:00.000-08:00Under logical standards, Texas deserved better tha...Under logical standards, Texas deserved better than what they received regarding the Big XII Championship. What should be lamented most however, is not Oklahoma's entry into the game, but the Big XII officials decision that this was the best way to break a three-way tie. Although I can say that I do follow their logic - they want the team with the best possible chance to go to the national championship (according to the BCS rankings) to play in their conference championship. Living in Big XII country, I can tell you that I keep hearing that the likelihood is slim that this tie-breaker system will be changed.slowfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145196299136244810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33399132.post-72574605427235753832008-12-01T12:11:00.000-08:002008-12-01T12:11:00.000-08:00I went a-googling to see how many basketball playe...I went a-googling to see how many basketball players were awarded Rhodes scholarships and ran across this lady.<BR/><BR/>http://www.nwba.org/news_index400.html<BR/><BR/>And speaking of examplary human beings -- Tanta.
