It was introduced by Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R - San Antonio as Senate Bill no. 1790. Basically it would keep Texas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M from participating in the BCS playoffs until they have a national system in which at least 16 teams would compete in elimination games like Divisions 2 and 3 have. The bill even though passed will expire before BCS extends invitations for 2005 unless at least four other states pass similar bills. I think other states considering it are Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina and Washington.

Man it would be a big blow to the BCS if Texas, California, Florida, Oklahoma and Alabama passed these laws. It would water down the BCS national championship. Maybe this is what is needed to make Division 1 get its act together.
