Mark Cuban's Stupid College Football Playoff Idea


As you already know, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks (Mark Cuban), is always talking and thinking. Typically at the same time.

This week, our favorite sports owner told ESPNDallas.com that he was “actively interested but in the exploratory stage” of trying to bankroll a 12 or 16 team playoff to replace the controversial BCS (Bowl Championship Series).

What a humanitarian. Just when we need it the most.

BCS executive director Bill Hancock commented today, as expected:
“Given how much support our current system has among university presidents, athletics directors, coaches and athletes, I don’t think any amount of financial inducement will make people abandon” the BCS.
