Legal Fixation

The Palookas of College Football

I pay zero attention to college football, so it comes as a complete shock to me that contending teams actually pay weaker teams for the privilege of getting crushed. And I'm further shocked that the NCAA would come right out and admit that they've added a twelfth game to the season purely for financial benefit. I know I'm being naive to think college sports were all about the joy of competition, but this is ridiculous. Maybe the Sports Law Bloggers will set me straight about why this doesn't render the entire college football system -- the polls and the BCS in particular -- a joke.
