I don’t usually use this blog to sound off on political topics but I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this story on Yahoo.com this morning.
I went to look for it again when I got home from work today but Yahoo.com didn’t have it featured so I grabbed it from ESPN.com.
Apparently, two senators have made separate motions for congressional oversight into the Bowl Championship Series and how they select the national championship in college football every year. One senator from Utah is whining about how the Utah Utes were left out of the NC title game after going through their season undefeated. Another senator from Texas is motioning to not allow the NCAA to use the term “national championship” unless the outcome of the game results from a playoff.
Two things about this story bother me.
1) Just for clarification, the NCAA does not award an annual national championship in football. That’s why you have the AP National Champion and the BCS National Champion and you’ve never heard of the NCAA National Champion.
2) In the current state of national and global affairs, does Congress really have time for this? This is not the job for which I elected people into political office.
Really?
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and say, “God Bless those idiots”.
