Fiesta Bowl not adequate for BCS
MORNING BREW
The Fiesta Bowl has long been a deserving participant of the Bowl Championship Series. It was the
The Fiesta Bowl has long been a deserving participant of the Bowl Championship Series. It was the scene of many classic college football bowl games, including Penn State's victory over Miami in 1987, Ohio State's double overtime victory over Miami for the national title in 2003, and Boise State's overtime win against Oklahoma in 2007. But with the Fiesta Bowl under scrutiny for making illegal campaign contributions, it's time for it to be removed from the BCS and replaced by the Cotton Bowl.
In March, the Fiesta Bowl fired its CEO, John Junker, for eight years of inappropriate political contributions and reimbursements that violated Arizona law and the Fiesta Bowl's privileges as a nonprofit organization.
The NCAA suspended five Ohio State Buckeyes, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, for the first five games of the 2011 season. They were caught selling championship rings, jerseys and awards, and received improper benefits, and coach Jim Tressel was also suspended for attempting to cover it up.
The BCS presides over college football's postseason while the NCAA oversees the regular season. For college football to maintain whatever respect it still garners, every aspect of the sport must be held accountable.
If the NCAA is serious about holding its athletes accountable, then the BCS
GEOFFREY CALVERT

When an athlete violates an NCAA rule, he or she incurs a suspension nearly every time. Bowl executives need to be held to the same standard. Letting the Fiesta Bowl remain a part of the BCS rotation does nothing to discourage those in power from misbehaving effectively giving them a free pass. College athletics, especially the BCS, have increasingly alienated fan bases for de-emphasizing the roles and rights of student athletes in favor of the desires of bowl and television executives. If the NCAA and BCS want to reverse that perception, they need to remove the Fiesta Bowl from the BCS rotation.
needs to be willing to hold its organizations accountable as well.
The most qualified candidate to replace the Fiesta Bowl in the BCS is the Cotton Bowl. Before the Fiesta Bowl rose to prominence two decades ago, the Cotton Bowl was one of the four traditional bowls, along with the Sugar
Bowl, Orange Bowl and, the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl. The Cotton Bowl has been played annually since 1937, making it one of the oldest bowl games. It boasts a tradition that the Fiesta Bowl cannot, and most importantly, its CEO hasn't violated any law.
Replacing the Fiesta Bowl with the Cotton Bowl makes sense for the BCS and the fans. The BCS would maintain its current structure of staging four bowls plus the national title game, and replacing the Fiesta with the Cotton Bowl would be a lateral, not a downward, move. The fans would get to see a historic bowl that has long been vying to be in the BCS finally included. In addition, the Cotton Bowl is held in Arlington, Texas. The Fiesta Bowl is held in Glendale, Ariz., so the BCS would still have a game in the Southwest.
