 Congress planning to take a look at BCS Congress planning to take a look at BCS Saturday, December 03, 2005 ASSOCIATED PRESS 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 the U.S. sports industry, announced yesterday that 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 billiondollar business that Congress cannot ignore," said committee Chairman Joe Barton, a Texas Republican. The committee announcement called the hearing, scheduled for Wednesday, a "comprehensive review" of the BCS and postseason college football. "The current system of determining who’s No. 1 appears deeply flawed," Barton said. Barton said he does not have legislation in mind to force a change, but said he hopes congressional hearings will spur discussion and improvements. The Bowl Championship Series was established in 1998 to determine a national champion using the traditional bowl system and a mix of computer and human polls to set up a championship game.  |
