Spear from Idaho talks FBS-FCS and realignment

Why would I? In case you haven't noticed, it's gettin' late early around here in regards to conference moves.

All in all, I'd like the Griz to play at the top level possible. It's where they belong.

They belong in the SEC?

Oh, Congress is gridlocked? Not about something like this. Everyone will don white robes and halos in the name of "the old college spirit."

Yeah, lets get congress involved. They run SO efficiently on their own....

You either ignored or didn't get my last sentence, so I've not only isolated it, but boldfaced it for you, et al. It is a little sarcastic, with a hope that on an issue like this, which would be nonpartisan, that Congress would/could come together. At least all the issues would be aired in hearings.

Much of it has to do with the integrity of our higher ed. institutions and whether there has been "mission creep" to the extent that the tail is wagging the dog when it comes to football, at least for some institutions. Apparently, the NCAA, which so many of you complain about, is in on the scam, and perhaps the chief culprit.

If there is any corruption, it has come from the private sector: TV and advertisers. That's where all the big money is generated and comes from.

Questions I see in all this are, "What is the actual status of college football in American higher education?" "Has money corrupted the sport and the institutions that sponsor it?" "Is the NCAA corrupted by this situation?" If so, "What can Congress do about it?"

Only Congressional hearings provide a national public forum to examine all sides of this issue. The media would love them. And, as I said, for all you who missed it, this would be a chance for Congress to show it is of some value in considering which, I think, is a nonpartisan, serious issue for this country.
Otherwise, I'm as disgusted with Congress as most of you are. But, as Boehner has said, our Congress is divided because the country is divided.

No. Benghazi is a serious issue. IRS targeting conservative groups is a serious issue. NSA wiretapping and reading private citizens' emails is a serious issue. Fast & Furious gunrunning is a serious issue. THIS is not a "serious" issue in which Congress should stick its' dysfunctional nose.

Agree; it's more at the level of Bridgegate.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Bridgegate ACTUAL level? Or the ridiculous level to which the media has taken it? :roll: :roll:
