Obamarama

I'll be outright and open on this: I'm not a fan of Obama. But this is the first major policy initiative of his that I can stand behind. What do you guys think? Do you dislike him throwing his influence around to change sports? Quiz Show helped shape some thoughts. But in general, I think the NCAA is a corrupt money-driven organization. You can say the same about our politicians. So do I really mind that the next President wants to improve (IMO) a horribly run NCAA? Not at all. This is the only thing I hope he can pull off in the next four years. My only fear though is if he does, it will significantly boost his possibility of reelection...

From an ESPN article:
Obama said he will use his influence to create such a [playoff] system.

"If you've got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there's no clear decisive winner. We should be creating a playoff system," he told reporter Steve Kroft.

According to Obama's proposed system, eight teams would play over three rounds to settle the national champion.

"It would add three extra weeks to the season," he said at the conclusion of a wide-ranging interview. "You could trim back on the regular season. I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this. So, I'm going to throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do."
