Obama administration may target college football
Utah Republican Orrin Hatch was so upset that his favorite college football team was not allowed to play in the BCS National Championship game last year that he wants to open an investigation into college football and their post season system.
He sent a letter to the president asking that the BCS be investigated to see if they were violating anti-trust laws, and today we learned that the Obama administration is looking at several different options regarding the BCS. The justice department has sent Orrin Hatch a letter confirming this.
The administration shares your belief that the current lack of a college football national championship playoff with respect to the highest division of college football … raises important questions affecting millions of fans, colleges and universities, players and other interested parties
My question would be, doesn’t the justice department, the Obama administration, and Orrin Hatch have more important issues to worry about than whether the college bowl system is fair? This is almost, but not quite, as asinine as when congress decided to hold hearings into steroid use in baseball so that senators could fawn over their heroes and get their pictures taken with them.
The justice department cannot even decide where Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried yet they can take the time to look into the college football bowl system? Something is wrong here, but misplaced priorities are becoming a staple of the Obama administration.

I’m not nuts about the BCS system, but what these idiots are doing is like trying to fix a tear in their car seat while driving on the freeway at 75mph… ever heard of priorities?

It certainly seems like there should be higher priorities than this.

I read something about this earlier and I couldn’t believe what I was reading. But, I shouldn’t be surprised. The members of Congress seem to take up issues at the drop of a hat. Something happens that someone doesn’t agree with and they have to start Congressional hearings or an investigation. They have much bigger fish to fry and they need to get their priorities straight.

Agreed Larry. I don’t understand why this is even on their radar other than Orrin Hatch is upset that his team didn’t play for the mational title. How is that of interest to congress.

That is why we need to vote most of them out. It is time to start over.

I think they want to change the rules where if one team scores too many points they take some away and give it to the other team. The ‘Obama Bowl.’
