Yeah, this is what we need to spend federal dollars on...

The budget deficit is larger than ever, and our incoming president says it'll stay that way for years (duh). The states are facing the same problems. So obviously we need to make sure our government (at all levels) spending is for important things.

Like college football, apparently.

In November, three US Congressmen (including Idaho's 2nd District, so I can't vote against him) wrote the president-elect, calling for a Justice Dept. investigation into whether the BCS system violates the Sherman Antitrust Act. And now, Utah's Attorney General is investigating the same system for antitrust violations.

College Sports. This is where we need to spend our money? Not, oh, I don't know--bringing the troops home, finding Osama, freeing us from dependency on foreign oil, etc. etc. etc.

Puh-leeeeez.
