Texas Lawmaker Seeks End To College Bowl System
Feb 10, 2005 7:13 pm US/Central
A legislator and University of Texas graduate is getting serious about his plan to bust up the Bowl Championship Series. Representative Corbin Van Arsdale of Tomball last week filed a non-binding House resolution urging the abolition of the BCS. He also wants the BCS formula that picks teams for college footballs biggest bowl games and crowns a national champion to be thrown out. Texas on January first played in the Rose Bowl and beat Michigan 38-37. That was UT's first appearance in a BCS bowl. On Thursday, Van Arsdale filed a bill that would prevent any state-supported school from Texas from participating in a BCS game. Van Arsdale thinks the NCAA should institute a playoff for Division 1-A football. His bill banning a Texas school from the BCS would only take effect if four other states pass similar laws.
