BYU threatened to sue BCS in 2001 which brought change... but not enough....
See KSL article confirming that in times past BYU has been willing to threaten legal action due to being unreasonably excluded from post season by the power conferences.
Many on CB now think that we are not even in that midset... and I fear they are right.
This year's rationale for excluding BYU are transparent and ridiculous. Cincy and BYU SOS are nearly identical, for one.
From article:
"Leading up to that Hawaii game, there was a consideration from BYU’s Athletic Director Val Hale to sue the BCS for an anti-trust lawsuit.
Shortly after BYU’s threats to sue, the BCS opened the door for “Non-BCS” programs to qualify for BCS bowls. Looking at you 2004 Utah, 2006 Boise State, 2007 Hawaii, 2008 Utah."
