[NU Sports] too bad for Uncle Floyd (or not)

[Mark Ament]

I echo Brad that I don't feel sorry for Michigan and would go further 
and say that a tweak to the BCS formula is in order:  you have to win 
your conference to make the BCS National Championship Game.  It is a 
simple matter of qualification.  If you're not good enough to win your 
conference, you're not good enough to make the game.  How that tweak 
will have to be finessed for the Evil Empire, I don't know- as far as 
I'm concerned, they can end their special rules and make ND play in the 
Big East where they belong.
