Steve Weiberg of the USA Today lets us know that Commissioner Craig Thompson of the Mountain West Conference is ready for his seat at the big-boy table for the holiday meal instead of that nasty, rickety old card table in the next room.
You know which one we're talking about... the one that, as an elementary school kid put you in some kind of adult-meal limbo. You weren't old enough to sit in the big chair, so you still had to sit with the distant cousins who were four and five years old and still tried to make "Devil's Mountain" out of the mashed potatoes and peas- thinking that if you hid the peas under the potatoes that you'd escaped eating a vegetable.
Or if you gave them to the dog under the table when the adults weren't looking, you'd gotten away with it again.
Thompson has had no such luck, yet- not for a lack of trying...
Even with three teams finishing in the Top 25, he gets it...
"The argument I will hear back (from the BCS) is, 'Craig, here it is. It's done. It's been agreed to. It's signed,' " Thompson says. "That doesn't mean you can't put it on the table
"One of the options would be to visit with the BCS coordinator … just to lay out our position."
He adds, "I would not be optimistic. As I explained to them (the Mountain West presidents), it's a series of legal contracts among 11 conferences, four bowls, two TV partners with yet another TV partner coming in. I would not see much of a relaxation."
So, we'll all just leave you with this... and laugh at Alabama football in the interim...
