Whipped Cream Difficulties

The BCS oversight committee has rendered their decision in the case of the Fiesta Bowl. (See previous blog posts here, here, and here.)

And the decision is…the Fiesta Bowl stays in the BCS, but pays a one million dollar fine.

Also, there’s a bunch of happy horses–t about hiring outside auditors, doing an annual audit, “cut[ing] ties with board members who engaged in inappropriate behavior”. You know, the usual load of crap.

“I hope this turns a new page for the Fiesta Bowl, but as far as this being a credible review or process, I don’t think it is,” said Matthew Sanderson, co-founder of Playoff PAC, a group critical of the BCS. “They (BCS task force) didn’t recuse members who accepted gifts from the Fiesta Bowl, and they didn’t review the other bowls when there are documented irregularities of the same nature at the Orange and Sugar bowls.”

In other news, Captain Renault is shocked, shocked to find out that gambling is going on.
