So now it's time for Congress to focus on the BCS:
WASHINGTON -- Everyone from President Barack Obama on down to fans has criticized how college football determines its top team. Now senators are getting off the sidelines to examine antitrust issues involving the Bowl Champion Series.
The current system "leaves nearly half of all the teams in college football at a competitive disadvantage when it comes to qualifying for the millions of dollars paid out every year," the Senate Judiciary's subcommittee on antitrust, competition policy and consumer rights said in a statement Wednesday announcing the hearings.

I would rather they do this than figure out more ways to spend money I (or the American people) don't have and work on taking away more freedom from me.

Oh, I'm sure that the Congressional fact-finding mission to the Rose Bowl will cost us something.

The sad fact is that government involvement in the BCS monopoly is far more warranted than the congressional meddling in baseball.

Pelosi will probably need a military jet, they will probably eat at restaraunts costing about $50/plate (paid for by us), plus detailed tours of each and every BCS stadium...I estimate about $2 million once its all said and done.
