Default Strong words from a powerful man

The president of the University of Georgia, Michael Adams, who is also the chairman of the NCAA executive committee(whatever that is), had this to say in his demand for a football playoff...
Quote:
"...this year's experience with the BCS forces me to the conclusion that the current system has lost public confidence and simply does not work."
Quote:
"The television networks -- particularly the one that controls the majority of regular season and postseason games -- have grown powerful in deciding who plays and when they play, and, indeed, whom they hire to coach."
Quote:
"The Bowl Championship Series has become a beauty contest largely stage-managed by the networks, which in turn protect the interests of their own partner conferences."
Quote:
He said the commissioners of the conferences and the bowls are guilty of "closed-circle decision-making based on traditional contract alliances."
