Because of haves versus have-nots.

The BCS existed as a comprimise for the smaller schools so that they wouldn't get cut out of the big money that the power conferences generate.

The smaller schools are struggling in the red under the current structure. And that is holding back college football from avoiding situations like Northwestern.

The power conferences would be ecstatic to operate without any revenue sharing with the poorer schools.

People don't realize that the ncaa doesn't have any power (factions prevent that) nor the money and resources (tv contracts feed the conferences). The ncaa serves a small purpose and they do a pisspoor job at it.
