Harvey Perlman could have used a good offensive line Tuesday between himself and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
Hatch repeatedly pressed the University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor on the fairness of the Bowl Championship Series during a Senate subcommittee hearing.
At one point, Perlman conceded that the BCS “may be unfair.” ( Perlman faces rush in BCS hearing )
“You know that it's unfair,” Hatch shot back.
As chairman of the group of university presidents that oversees the BCS, Perlman testified at the hearing titled “The Bowl Championship Series: Is it fair and in compliance with antitrust law?”
Hatch, the only senator who spent more than a few minutes at the hearing, blasted the BCS as an unfair, illegal, arrogant monopoly designed by traditional powerhouses such as Nebraska at the expense of schools such as Utah that don't come from one of the six so-called power or “privileged” conferences.
(Something Sen. Orrin Hatch needs to embrace is life isn't always fair. However my biggest issue why are we asking those in Washington to fix what might be wrong with college football. Shouldn't our leaders be putting their focus on other things. Also when was the last time the US Senate or US House made something better or fixed something. They should be doing what they can to keep their own house in order.Let the coaches or the NCAA fix college football.)
