RCS: Has President-Elect Obama's apparent interest in the BCS, expressed both on ESPN and on CBS' 60 Minutes, brought a lot more, or perhaps unwanted, attention to the BCS?
BH: The BCS gets lots of attention this time of the year to start with, but I don't remember getting it from the president before. We congratulate him and are deeply honored that he's a passionate fan of college football. But I don't feel this has particularly increased the demand for change.
RCS: Speaking of change, or change you can believe in, has there been any push toward a playoff or a Plus-One, anything?
BH: There's always a great deal of interest in change coming from different quarters. But the fact remains that the presidents, athletic directors, commissioners and coaches, the four core primary groups involved have not expressed a desire for change. Among those constituents there's no consensus for change. There are several individual (coaches) who feel strongly about it, but every time when the issue was put in front of the AFCA they have not been in favor of a playoff.
