Part 5/6:
The term "corruption" echoes throughout Tol's discourse as he paints a vivid picture of a system rigged to favor elite institutions. He emphasizes the conflict of interest present in a committee comprising figures who benefit from the TV revenue generated by these powerhouse conferences, feeding into a cycle of favoritism.
In expressing his discontent, Tol argues for a return to a more objective system—perhaps even suggesting the reintroduction of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). His frustration crescendos into a cry for structural changes that prioritize the athletes and teams based on their competitive merits rather than their financial allure.
