There will be no BIG DANCE in 2010 much to the chagrin of college football fans across the country. Rejecting the pleas of sports fans, the BCS has shown hubris in deciding to not even consider implementing a playoff.

The Quinnipiac University National Poll numbers suggest that the public wants to scrap the current system for a playoff.  SFC board member Dave Zirin wrote an article published in the LA Times advocating for Congress to get involved.

While the public is split about 50/50 on whether Congress should lean on the BCS, the Sports Fans Coalition is not.  When sports issues enter Congress, there is a tendency for public disgust.  However, the public disgust over the inaction by the BCS is the greater evil in this situation.

In fact, rather than ameliorating the situation with sports fans, the BCS has hired Ari Fleischer to make their inaction look better, their stubbornness to appear like justice was served.

The truth is that no justice has been served.  It is an injustice that tonight’s college football game is the last of the season.  Texas and Alabama compete for a non-title while Boise State remains undefeated, and Florida overpowers Cincinnati for a consolation prize. 

There is no consolation for the college football fan.  There is no dance.
