Greed and the college playoffs

So the last week of Conference shake-ups in NCAA football has just stirred up all my emotions from January and the debacle that is the BCS. So I'm going to cover some basics and explain what I feel is perhaps the most broke system in Sports.

So for starters the NCAA's purpose according to it's website http://tinyurl.com/38ubbmv is to "govern competition in a fair, safe, equitable and sportsmanlike manner, and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount." The part that gets me about this is not only the NCAA's (and most universities) willingness to downplay the fair, safe and equitable part of that mission statement when it comes to Division I Football (FBS). FBS is the only level of NCAA sports where a champion is not determined by a tournament or playoff system. The NCAA has been using a tournament to determine it's baseball, basketball and hockey all since the 1940's. The following five bowl games that have a tradition that is longer that that; Rose, Sugar, Orange, Sun and Cotton bowls. So why have they not instituted the same program in the FBS? The answer is money. The BCS total 5 games pay out over 83 Million to the schools involved, the remaining 30+ bowl games pay out a combined 43 million. That is a 40 million more that is not available to Non-BCS conference schools unless they are fortunate enough to gain a berth in those games. With a move towards 'Super Conferences' those smaller schools will be left out even more. All this is to say that I feel the NCAA must truly use it's oversight and install a Championship Tournament for the fair and equitable good of all their schools.
