Adams 9 actions merit praise
University president
Michael Adams’ state
ment Tuesday regard
ing a football playoff was cer
tainly a big one. Adams is not
only a president of a major
university, but chairman of
the NCAA executive commit
tee, which gives him a large
stump to shout from. While
his idea was no different from
most fans’ armchair talk, it’s
nice to hear it from someone
involved.
Adams alone will not be
able to change the college
football postseason, but his
proposal as NCAA chairman
is certainly a start. For the
past several years, fans have
been clamoring for a playoff,
something every other NCAA
sport has without conflict. Yet
for some reason, Division I
football has been held hostage
by a money-hungry bowl sys
tem whose only concern is the
bottom line and not the top
team.
Fans always have been told
to blame the university presi
dents for not having a playoff
since they would be the ones
to lose the money. So when a
university president sticks his
own neck out for a playoff, it’s

The only question now is
who is left to convert, and why
are they in favor of an unfair
system? Simply put, CHA
CHINO! Adams was dead on
when he called out the televi
sion conglomerates as “clear
built-in conflicts." While I’m
not usually one for blaming
big business for all our prob
lems, this is one instance in
which it might be the biggest
troublemaker of them all.
They make millions of dollars
on bowls where fans shell out
more than SIOO to see their
team play and then turn
around and make millions
more broadcasting a bowl vs.
playoff debate on every sta
tion. The NCAA needs to take
back control of its biggest
sport and restore justice and
fairness, even if big business

SPORTS
doesn’t like it.
There’s always been a mys
tique that college athletics are
pure. The NCAA puts so many
restrictions on players that
they cannot even accept a
shirt from a booster or fan, yet
the NCAA pimps out football
to the highest bidder in every
aspect of the game. The
hypocrisy is palpable. For
once, it would be nice to see
college football move toward a
fair system rather than a
lucrative business. If college
football is about the players,
why are CEOs the only ones
cashing in?
In an age when instant
replay widely is used to ensure
calls are correct, there is no
reason why the method to get
to such games is not also
heavily refined. Adams could
be grandstanding to get fewer
boos at future games. In fact,
it is painfully obvious for
someone who has been
against a playoff for so long to
just change his mind. But if it
helps pry college football out
of the jaws of the BCS, then
we all owe him some applause.

BCS: Some ‘disappointed,’

► From Page 1
some of the subtle shifts they
made in the last few weeks influ
enced what happened during the
conference championships.”
Head coach Mark Richt agreed
with Adams when asked in his
end-of-season teleconference on
Tuesday.
"I think most coaches would
be in favor of (Adams’ proposed
eight-game playoff). I personally
think eight is the limit. I don’t
think anyone wants to diminish
the regular season, and I don’t
think an eight-team playoff would
do that," Richt said.
Some were not so pleased with
Adams’ statements, including
SEC commissioner Mike Slive,
who took offense to the timing.
“I was disappointed that the
story came out today. This is
LSU’s day and the Southeastern
Conference’s day,” said Slive in
an Associated Press article.
In addition to the news confer
ence, Adams wrote a letter to
NCAA president Myles Brand
outlining his proposal. In the let
ter, Adams wrote the “Bowl

Championship Series has become
a beauty contest largely stage
managed by the networks, which
in turn protect the interests
of their own partner conferenc
es."
Adams also said he would be
in favor of lessening the regular
season to 11 games instead of 12.
When asked what he thinks
should be done about conference
championships under his propos
al, Adams said, “I have felt all
along they are a mixed bag. I
think that’s an issue for confer
ence presidents to decide.”
After LSU beat Ohio State
38-24 for the BCS Championship
on Monday, Adams, an Ohio
State alumnus, said it was time
to bring a playoff proposal to the
NCAA agenda.
"I think the timing is right for
the discussion, and we will have
to see how it plays out. Forget
not that I have two Ohio State
degrees,” he said. “I love Ohio
State and there’s a little suffering
... but I believe that there are
four or five teams in the SEC as
every bit as good as Ohio State
is.”
