There is one man in the country that can change the monopoly of the BCS, and it’s not necessarily president-elect Barack Obama and his famous campaign slogan “Yes we can.” It’s Florida head coach Urban Meyer.How can Urban Meyer knock out the money hungry BCS? By being a martyr.
How? It’s simple.
Urban Meyer needs to have a meeting with his players before the BCS national championship tomorrow. He needs to tell them that they are going to do something for the greater good, but it will require a personal sacrifice as a team.
After Florida beats Oklahoma tomorrow night (and we all know they will cause Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops is a known bowl choker), they need to accept their crystal football BCS national champion trophy and take the microphone from the BCS commissioner.
Instead of giving their celebratory speech, Florida head coach Urban Meyer needs to say that they cannot accept this trophy because they are not the last undefeated team standing. Then the player captain needs to give the trophy back to the BCS commissioner and say they all agree and that Utah is the deserving champion in this corrupt system.Can you imagine the look on the BCS commissioners face as this is done on live TV? The players will be heralded across the country for standing up for what they believe in for the greater good.
And they couldn’t hand the trophy to Oklahoma after the rejection from Florida because Stoops would be massacred in the papers for even accepting it. Urban would do Utah a favor after ditching the school four years ago.
Urban Meyer will be fired the next day by the University of Florida, but he’ll go down in lore amongst fans forever. He’s already done everything he possibly can for the University of Florida. Two national championships (one given back), and Florida fans have always cherished former old ball coach Steve Spurrier more than Urban anyway.
Urban would get a job within a week anyway. There will be dozens of offers from colleges or pro teams for him to choose from. You know the Jets, Lions or Browns would hire him in a heartbeat.
This would force BCS change from within, and not through anti-trust trials through the Supreme Court so that President Obama can focus on more important matters.
I love this idea, even if it’s a pipe dream. Does anyone have Kyle Whittingham’s number? He needs to put in a call to his friend, Urban ASAP.
The shockwaves would force change, and change is goooooooood.
Urban, Yes You Can!

I like the idea Joe. I had a thought yesterday though, Urban still instists that the Utes were the best team in 2004. He still thinks that they should have been the champions even though they werent in the BCS. I wonder what would he would say this year if Florida wins. Would he still think that Utah deserves the title this year or would he say that the BCS got it right? I dont think he would ever give Utah credit, at least not a Utah team he didnt coach , while he is the head coach of a BCS school. I really want someone to just ask him that and see what he says.
never been an urban fan, although i can't argue that he's in a small group of top-tier college coaches. he's tried to weasle his way around every question regarding utah and the bcs. i'm still waiting for the near future when notre dame drops an insane contract in his lap to take over for tubby. they might even offer to put his head on touchdown jesus. they want him that hard.
nice. i dont follow football...at all, but my co workers and everyone else i know who faolows college football complains about this, and i have to agree. so yeah i think you idea is goooood!
