because of limited meals

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.

so now we're gonna have to watch incredibly fat athletes play ball? That sucks.

I like it when they were starving and playing their hearts out to earn that NFL meal ticket.

If it had happened during the Tuberville era, GoldenFlake's plant would've been relocated to AU.

For rich schools: steak and lobster.
For poor schools: ramen noodles.

Yeah I can see why some schools voted against it. Like it or not this advantages power conferences like ours and is just another recruiting hurdle that prevents others from competing on our level.

Now that our casinos in Mississippi are shutting down, we will find some good cooks for our boys!

We'll probably need all 1300 cooks, servers and bed-makers that Harrah's is letting go next month.
