Mark Cuban's mission to create a playoff alternative to the Bowl Championship Series has a name: Radical Football.
Cuban created that company in late December, registering it in Texas on Dec. 28. That was two weeks after the billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner said that he was "actively interested but in the exploratory stage" of creating and funding a playoff system to crown a champion for major college football.
The formation of the company was first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune. Radical Football has at least one employee: Brett Morris, 40, who has experience as president of a national marketing agency focused on sporting goods and as Notre Dame's promotions coordinator.
"[Cuban is] real engaged in this," Morris told the Union-Tribune while in San Diego representing Radical Football as a judge in a contest for college students who pitched plans to change the football postseason.
Cuban's basic idea is to keep the bowl system but make it more profitable for programs to qualify for his playoffs than to participate in a bowl.
"Put $500 million in the bank and go to all the schools and pay them money as an option," Cuban told ESPNDallas.com in December. "Say, 'Look, I'm going to give you X amount every five years. In exchange, you say if you're picked for the playoff system, you'll go.'"
I really like Cuban's approach here. Use some investment (most likely from his own pockets) and buy major college football programs into a system where they can get to compete against the top teams and really build their exposure through a tournament. This has more potential to change the landscape than dealing with the bureaucrats that are the BCS stakeholders.
However, are the current conferences/teams currently under contract with the BCS? If so, how long before a transition could occur?
NEW YORK -- A three-game series between the Florida Marlins and Mariners June 24-26 has been moved from Miami to Seattle because of a U2 concert.
Major League Baseball said Thursday the change was made because of the scheduling conflict at Sun Life Stadium. The rock band U2 is scheduled to play at the stadium June 29 and the Marlins must vacate the stadium to allow setup time for the concert.
Bono wins out! I think in this case I would choose baseball.
You gotta dig the design of this floor!
Cool to see my favorite baseball sanctuary hosting some football!
I can see getting fired up from entering into a stadium through a tunnel like this to play a big game!
A college football rivalry at its best!
That's an impressive coordination effort by the Hawkeye fan base!
