Piling on the BCS

This is all old stuff, but I hadn't seen it posted anywhere else yet, so I thought I'd add it.  Anyway, it is from SNL, with Will Forte singing a song about why he loves the BCS, and other things he loves as much as the BCS.

Also, ESPN writer Ivan Maisel wrote an article

In which there was this line:

The BCS has a rule that locker rooms must be open to the media after a game. Penn State coach Joe Paterno refused to open the Nittany Lions' locker room after the Rose Bowl loss to USC. No one connected to the BCS with whom I spoke has any idea how to enforce the rule or what the penalty is.

And I recall that during the game Lisa Salters was peeved that JoePa didn't do his contractually obligated pre-game interview:

I love how the BCS has these "rules" in place that are purely media and $$ driven.
