[NU Sports] With political involvement afoot, prepare for major BCS change

[Beamsley, Jeff]

During periods of change, there is always the temptation to view the  
future and a pale imitation of the past.

Those who study geopolitics feel that this country is still in it's  
early teens in terms of maturity. Our best years are still ahead of  
us.  We will remain the dominant world power for at least the next  
century and maybe much longer. The decline that coach roy predicts is  
probably hundreds of years away.

For those who are interested in more detail, I recommend The Next  
Hundred Years be George Freidman.
