CHICAGO (MarketWatch) – Lawmakers apparently are getting ready to vote soon on a bill that would force a national major-college football playoff, replacing the current Bowl Championship Series, according to media reports.
Could someone please explain to me why our congress believes that it should have any say in such a matter? I am not defending the BCS. I simply cannot rationalize why, of all the many challenges we face, why these disconnected, egomaniac, jackasses believe that they have the right to determine such issues.

Because they have gotten away with so much over the years, why not with this?
This has been going on for decades, you have just become unsheepled.

Because our congress has completely and utterly lost touch with the people of this nation.
Or maybe they are more in tune than we realize, and they are simply voting on what people complain about the most…hmm…

Scariest part? Most Congressmen would agree with you on that 100%.
Congress will evaluate the BCS for antitrust violations. I am not suggesting they are right - that is just the means of doing so. And I think the actual legality, etc. is secondary - Congress merely plans on using ths threat of investigation, violation, and legislation as a Sword of Damocles to get a change in policy before any passage of any law (unconstitutional or not) is needed.
