Midmajors revolt

This made me laugh. Where were they before the economy cracked? I do not think that a little congressional meeting with the media on the NCAA would do much in taxing our government leader's brains. They spend more time raising money then anything else and this econmic mess will not change that but may even increase the fund raising activity. I'd like the non-BCS schools to help them a bit and perhaps help them find the time for economic issues and a little bit of time for them.

Are people really counting on our politicians to get us out of this mess? Now that is scary.:roll:

I understand your point. But what I'm saying is that the government is not supposed to be spending time on which teams will play each other in college basketball. People's perceptions of the government are bad enough as it is. I don't think they would appreciate them wasting even more time on basketball, which is not an essential function of the government.

The government is supposed to be involved if there is a violation of interstate commerce... That would make this a federal case, literally. The government is responsible for business between states, last I checked... And protecting and investigating institutions important to the American way of life is also a function of government. I don't see the problem here.
