Since the BCS leagues, the networks and the NCAA all have to agree for this "play off for a BCS berth" to work, 2013 is probably optomistic. I would be surprised at the NCAA amending their rules soon enough for even a 2013 date. I believe the current BCS contracts all expire in 2014 or 2015 and that would make more sense for a big revision to be done anyway.

Without really having read much on the "why's" of such a merger but.....why does it matter for these 2 leagues to merge? It just seems like more shuffling of the deck chairs yet on the same mezzanine level. I just don't get all this re-alignment business at all of late. I still wish the SWC were around and we were in it.

GMG!
