UTAH STATE SENATE PASSES ANTI- BCS MEASURE
The measure requires a playoff system to be created to determine the college football's national champion. This is in response to the University of Utah Utes being denied a chance to compete for the championship despite having the only undefeated record in college football.

About the resolution:
Good effort UTAH State Legislature! You're giving it the old college try and doing what you can without taking a risk! But now what? If you are serious and want this measure to be more than legislative bloviating, do more than send a copy of the bill to the Utah Congressional Delegation, which by the way will be filed away by an intern and forgotten, rally your constituents! Call on your 5 member delegation to support federal initiatives like HR 599, or to participate in Rep. Edolphus Towns soon to come committee hearings.

Other points made in the article:
Saying the new contract between the BCS and ESPN will make a change unlikely is ignorant.

1. If the BCS were dissolved the contract will be dissolved as well.
2. ESPN would be more than happy to adjust the contract to televise the tournament that would arguably replace the BCS. More games = more commercial space = more $$$$

Our NEMESES, John Swofford, BCS coordinator, says the BCS is compliant with federal law. Lets test that theory!!! Add your voice to Fans For Change by making a donation and make something happen to the BCS instead of it happening to us.

Welcome to Fans For Change

The purpose of Fans For Change is to unify college football fans everywhere for the dissolution of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS).

How
Fans For Change is the only organization created to unify college football fans everywhere into a single voice against the BCS. History, literature, and pop culture are full of events where the seemingly voiceless have come together as one to defeat the powerful. It’s time for the legions of college football fans to become one and end the BCS.

The first step is to determine the amount of interest in a unified effort against the BCS. Do college football fans want to stand idly by hoping someone will do something to end the BCS? Or do they want to do something?

Unfortunately, something like this will take money. This site has been created to determine the amount of interest in becoming a unified voice by soliciting donations.

The amount needed from each individual college football fan is less than the price of a large fountain drink at the corner gas station, or the price of supersizing your lunch today. If just 16,000 fans (the smallest stadium in Division 1-A football seats 16,000) from each Division 1-A college football team gave $1; Fans For Change would raise almost $2 million, a significant amount to make our voices heard.

This isn't the “Human Fund” (see Seinfeld episode #166); your donation will be used to bring change to college football. Your donation will:
1st: Fund the creation of a Non-Profit organization
2nd: Increase Web and Media exposure
3rd: Draw attention to the inequalities of the BCS
4th: Lobby Congress
5th: Fund legal action

Please know that all donations will be held in a Paypal account until enough money has been collected to turn this organization into a non-profit. If for some reason we do not collect enough, all donations will be returned.
