College Sports Information Directors of America

PASADENA, Calif. – The headlines out of the recent annual meetings all read something like: "No changes from BCS."

Sure, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson proposed blowing up the current system and going to an eight-team playoff. But that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Still, there was real change enacted, and it's something FWAA members can and should applaud. In an era when the media finds more doors closing and access greatly reduced, the BCS commissioners – and the BCS bowls, too – showed they understand the value of publicity and our coverage of college football.
