Hey, I know this may sound a little off, but there are a few players who have dogs. They are meeting their parents in Vegas, and will ride home with them. Due to the earlier Bowl this year, the players will not be back in Boise for a couple of weeks. Some are willing to pay to have their dogs transported to Vegas (one way), since they can't fly them on the plane. If anyone can help out, please send me a private message or something. Much appreciation.

Boise is basically told to shut up.

The commissioners of the Bowl Championship Series conferences said this week that they?re tired of the complaints about access and revenue-sharing from the non-BCS conferences.

They even threatened to go back to the old system, which would cut the Boise States of the world out of the picture for big-money bowls.

Boise State president Bob Kustra has been one of the biggest critics of the BCS. He even e-mailed conference commissioners this week to point out the lack of transparency in the system.

Here are a few of the quotes contained in an article by Brett McMurphy of FanHouse:

"Don't push it past this because if you push it past this, the Big 12's position is we'll just go back to the old (bowl) system," Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe told FanHouse. "You're getting the ability to get to places you've never gotten before. We've Jerry-rigged the free market system to the benefit of those institutions and a lot are institutions that don't even fill their stadiums."

"The six (BCS) conferences have bent over backwards and tried to be politically correct to their own detriment, probably further than they had to, maybe should have," Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott told FanHouse.

"The problem is your big stage takes away opportunities for my teams, to play on the stage they created in 1902,? Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said at a forum in New York.

"The problem is your big stage takes away opportunities for my teams, to play on the stage they created in 1902."
-- Jim Delany

:bow:

Personally, I would have added a "now go get your fucking shinebox," to the end of it, but who am I to argue with Jim Delany?

The original article referenced in buckeyemania's post:

http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/20...s-non-aq-leagues-dont-expect-more-than-youre/

NEW YORK ? Inside The W Hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday morning, they sat side-by-side on a platform. Five of the most powerful men in college athletics -- the conference commissioners from the Big Ten, SEC, Pac-10, Big 12 and Big East. Also part of the panel was Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson.

Although Benson was seated with the group at IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, it's very obvious: Benson and his league are clearly viewed as an outsider by the big boys.

And college football's behemoths -- the automatic qualifying BCS conference commissioners -- vow they'll keep it that way.

Jim Delany is 100% correct IMO


Boise just expects everything to be handed to them.........schools like Ohio State, scUM, Alabama, Oklahoma, etc.. have been building the college football foundation for decades and decades.....Johnny Come Lately Boise just bursts in and expects the world to be handed to them, why should they be handed what they havent earned when everyone else had to build for it?

The way that Delaney (and the other commissioners) spoke I'm not really doubting that Gee's comments were timely. He just may have known this was coming down the pike.

Yes, I think that Gee was providing an authenticating voice for Delaney. Big Ten college presidents have had enough of the screaming little brothers. To hell with the BCS. Go back to the way it was. See how much they like that.
