The BCS is not evil, but the BCS is only out for two
things, money and power.  The BCS controls the largest
and most profitable bowl games in college football. 
The BCS is funded by sponsors.  If people disagree
with the BCS and would like a change, why not boycott
the sponsors of the BCS?  The only way to hurt the BCS
is by hitting them where it counts most, their pocket
books.
