After it was rejected, David Frohnmayer, BCS presidential oversight committee chairman, said:

“There was no overall support for the proposal, although some conferences were interested in considering certain elements of it in the future — particularly those related to revenue, access and governance of the BCS arrangement.”

According to Frohnmayer, all of the conferences and Notre Dame wrote reports in support of keeping the current post-season system. However, a large part of that may be wanting to fulfill televison contracts. Frohnmayer says that the current post-season arrangement is the best that has ever existed.

BCS Rejects MWC’s Playoff Plan

Many fans of the New Mexico Lobos were thrilled when former Iowa head coach Steve Alford agreed to take over their basketball program. And if their early recruiting success is any indication, everybody else in the Mountain West Conference had better take notice.

New Mexico signed Houston shooting guard Phillip McDonald to a letter of intent and dramatically upgraded their 2008 recruiting class. McDonald is the number 87 ranked player in the Rivals.com class of 2008 and is a major coup for the Lobos.

New Mexico has never been a desired destination for top-level recruits, but it appears that Alford could be changing that in a hurry. The Pit has always been one of the toughest places to play in the country, and it could be even tougher if Alford and the Lobos coaching staff can build on their recruiting momentum.

MWC foes beware…
