And Ferd Lewis gives the Mountain West Conference what for.

Not a peep was heard two seasons ago when unbeaten Boise State was left high and dry in the title picture. Nor, you suspect, would the MWC have uttered a word had it been, say, Tulsa or Ball State that got ripped off this past season.

Make no mistake about it, the BCS needs to be overhauled. There should be genuine debate and serious solutions toward a football version of the NCAA basketball tournaments.

To that extent the MWC proposal is welcome. But what isn't needed are more self-aggrandizing grabs by individual conferences. That's what created the situation we have now.

Of course, it helps to remember that the MWC was created by the schools that clandestinely chose to bolt the WAC and hijacked the TV contract on the way out the door.

Shazam!
