On ESPN's First and 10, sportswriter Skip Bayless stated that the only way for college football to "fix" the BCS would be for Congress to step in and legislate a playoff format.  This proposal was then seriously discussed amongst the other members of the show.  Are you kidding me?!?!  Is this what our country has come to?  Just the mere fact that someone could propose that Congress should step in and tell the conference commissioners what to do, and be taken seriously, is unbelievable.  The reach of the government has gotten so out of hand that there remains no corner of the country free from candidacy for government interference.  The government intervening in the MLB steroids issue was clearly unconstitutional, but at least there was an actual problem to solve.  Our founding fathers would certainly be disgusted that someone could seriously propose the Federal government stick its noses into sports and not be laughed at or ridiculed.
