NCAA FOOTBALL
There are millions of reasons why we will probably never see a college playoff system and they all relate to money. Just from Boise State and TCU making it to a BCS Bowl game their entire conference will earn a profit. The Mountain West Conference which TCU belongs to will split $9.8 million, the Western Athletic Conference which Boise St belongs to will share $7.8 million. But the real winners are the big major conferences like the Big Ten and the SEC conferences each earning $22 million, while the other four Big Twelve, Big East, Pac 10, and the ACC each earning $17.7 million. While a playoff system is what many fans want to see, the bowl games bring a lot of revenue for all the schools even if they don’t qualify for a bowl game.
