A Proposal to Reform the BCS (college football)

Mon Dec 03, 2007 at 02:03:41 PM PDT

Hey sports fans.  As political as the BCS selection is getting, I think this is a perfectly appropriate place to showcase an idea I've been working on.  A new and improved BCS system for college football.  One that will please the fans, the players, the coaches, and the people counting their money after it is all over.

To start off, we're under a few constraints. The major bowls and the major conferences are never going to give up the money and power they currently posses, and the NCAA doesn't seem interested in stepping in to change anything. So we have to work through the current system, doing something the conferences and the bowls will endorse. In order to be fair, we must leave room for non-BCS schools, however. Taking those things into mind, I came up with a system that I think would no only make the game more fair, but would also make more money for the big bowls, ensuring their cooperation.

New Technologies - Hybrid and Alternative Vehicles

No Kossack needs to be told about our need to cut our gasoline consumption.  Over the years we've all become very aware of the problems we are facing and the importance of finding solutions.    MSN autos currently has an article profiling several potential solutions, mostly in the form of new types of hybrid technology.  I found them very interesting, so I figured I'd pass along the news.
