What is this, Russia?

From Sports Illustrated:

The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series...

Several lawmakers and many critics want the BCS to switch to a playoff system, rather than the ratings system it uses to determine the teams that play in the championship game.

"The administration shares your belief that the current lack of a college football national championship playoff with respect to the highest division of college football ... raises important questions affecting millions of fans, colleges and universities, players and other interested parties," Weich wrote.

Weich made note of the fact that President Barack Obama, before he was sworn in, had stated his preference for a playoff system. In 2008, Obama said he was going to "to throw my weight around a little bit" to nudge college football toward a playoff system, a point that Hatch stressed when he urged Obama last fall to ask the department to investigate the BCS.

Now this is ridiculous. The government wants to dictate how college football championships are determined????

I have no words. Part of me would love to see them try to do it. What better way to piss off millions of people, literally across America than to screw around with football. But I stand on principle: Congress and Obama - get your damn hands out of our lives and quit prying into things that are none of your damn business.

Livid. Eyes red. Blood streaming from my ears... Can't. see. straight...
