For the past 15 years I served as president of San Diego State University. I sat in meetings and participated in votes about not just the academic life of the university, but another huge aspect of university life: college sports. That experience leads me to recognize a few plain truths: College football is in a crisis; today?s system cannot fix itself. Indeed, no one on the inside of intercollegiate athletics can speak openly because too much is at stake. And taxpayers nationwide are harmed as a result. The scrutiny of the media, Congress, the Justice Department and state attorneys general is warranted ? and desperately needed ? on the Bowl Championship Series.
