   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) 5hrdrive | Jan 1, 2012 |  This book should be the blueprint for a playoff system. Why is college football the only sport without a playoff. No more split championship, no more undefeated team left on the outside looking in. The regular season would mean more and conference championships would matter. Funny thing is they don't want to see the bowls gone and they explain how you can have both. Teams would not lose money to go to a bowl game. Please read this book and give it to another college football fan to read. We need to change the status quo! (  )1  foof2you | Jun 27, 2011 |  )2 merrymac51 | Mar 2, 2011 | I enjoy all things about college football except for the BCS system. It was really interesting to know all of the things that happen behind the curtain in division one college football. Wetzel, Passan, and Peter really had to do a great deal of research to make this book. I would not recommend this book for anyone that is looking for random book reading. This book seems it would only be appealing to you is if you are interested in college football. Death to the BCS has nearly more numbers than words on the pages. Reading numbers and dollar amounts gets old and slows things down. A lot of sections seem to be repetitive. Overall, I still enjoyed this book. It had a lot of appealing insight and interesting facts regarding the BCS system. Kyle T. 1 FolkeB | Feb 4, 2011 | )1 06nwingert | Jan 11, 2011 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML: With all-new reporting, a completely revised and updated second edition of the bestseller that takes down the Great Satan of college sports: the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). Every college sport picks its champion by a postseason tournament, except for one: Divsiion I-A football. Instead of a tournament, fans are subjected to the Bowl Championship Series, an arcane mix of polling and mathematical rankings that results in just two teams playing for the championship. It is, without a doubt, the most hated institution in all of sports. A recent Sports Illustrated poll found that more than 90% of sports fans oppose the BCS, yet this system has remained in place for more than a decade. Building upon top-notch investigative reporting, Wetzel, Peter, and Passan at last reveal the truth about this monstrous entity and offer a simple solution for fixing it. Death to the BCS: Totally Revised and Updated is brought up to date to cover the 2010-2011 season, listing which teams were screwed by the BCS (such as TCU), how much money college football left on the table by not having a playoff (based on 2011 tax filings), and how the calls for the abolition of the BCS grew even louder this past year. The book also includes findings from interviews with power players, as well as research into federal tax records, congressional testimony, and private contracts. The first book to lay out the unseemly inner workings of the BCS in full detail, Death to the BCS is a rousing manifesto for bringing fairness back to one of our most beloved sports. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
