Someone can link for me.

BCS doesn't like the scandal with the Fiesta bowl and may revoke it.

Wonder if the Cotton would replace it or what would happen.

Now is the time for the Cotton Bowl to make its move.

Sure, Jerryworld is a vastly overrated stadium and Dallas gets cold in the winter.

But it sure would be nice for the Big 12 to get a BCS game on it's home turf. Pretty much every other conference has a BCS game in their area (Pac 10 - Rose Bowl, SEC - Sugar Bowl, etc). A BCS game in Dallas would be a home field for all teams formerly of the Big 12 South.

It's a conspiracy by Jerry Jones to get a BCS game in Dallas!!...And the mastermind behind the plot...none other than George W. Bush!!!!!

The CB needs to move quick on this.

If the XII implodes, could the SEC could have two BCS affiliates? Sugar and Cotton! That would be sweet!

some messed up crap.

fiesta bowl expensed private travel, golf course memberships, strip clubs. reimbursed for political contributions.

going to go on a limb and say some folks are in a lot of trouble.

and good job, cotton bowl.

Sugar and Cotton, the Cotton Candy Bowls

I HATE the Cotton Bowl being at JerryWorld but I would LOVE if it could gain BCS status and be back in its rightful place as one of the top bowls.


I miss throwing cotton all over Kyle after beating the sips to win the SWC.

The NCAA and the bowl system are corrupt. The whole thing needs to be blown up and restarted from scratch.

actually, now that I think about it, it would have been nice for the Cotton Bowl officials and Jerry to have paid off Laura Miller and the Dallas County officials that stopped him from building in Fair Park.

I do bet every bowl if properly audited could face these same issues. Cotton Bowl in place of the Fiesta is a big loser for anyone actually going to the game.

Why the hate for Cowboy's Stadium? I love that place.

Junker only used Fiesta Bowl money for hookers and blow. And bought himself a $33,000 birthday party. And they only used employees to funnel money to politicians. What's the big deal?!?!?!?

I fail to understand this post. Are you merely saying that Phoenix is a better destination in January than Dallas? I must admit that I'm biased, but its always chapped my hide that somehow the crappy fiesta bowl got BCS membership and the Cotton Bowl lost out. Honestly, when looking at the historical bowl games, people think of Orange, Sugar, Rose, and ... Cotton, not the Fiesta. I really hope the Cotton Bowl committe/Jeruh don't screw this one up.

$2MM in undocumented expenses, thats insane!

Yes exactly.

The Cotton Bowl deserves to be a BCS bowl. Since the 60's the cotton bowl has been the premier bowl.

Death Star in Dallas sucks. But would be happy to have a BCS Bowl w/ championship game here!

fiesta bowl was never anything big until about 20 years ago,

Miami-Penn St "national championship game" at the Fiesta Bowl was in 1986. So 25 years ago.

From a money standpoint, moving their BCS tie-in to the Cotton Bowl would be very helpful for the Big XII as the fans of the champion would have a lot shorter distance to travel, leading to fewer instances of the Big XII champion being unable to sell its full allotment of tickets, as happened to OU this year.

Fiesta Bowl fires CEO John Junker

The Fiesta Bowl released a scathing internal report Tuesday.

The reimbursements, listed as at least $46,539, are an apparent violation of state campaign finance laws and the charter that allows the Fiesta Bowl its nonprofit status. The Arizona attorney general's office is conducting a probe of the matter.

The BCS reacted swiftly, saying it would undertake an investigation of its own to "consider whether the Fiesta Bowl should remain a BCS bowl game or other appropriate sanctions."

The Fiesta board of directors voted unanimously to fire Junker "for his improper and inappropriate activities documented" in the report.

So this jackass has been using Fiesta Bowl money to buy politicians, and we wonder why we can't have a playoff system. Oh yeah, it's so the "student athletes" don't have to miss additional classes.

No Cotton to BCS - The BCS Needs to blow up and a playoff system takes its place.
