Detroit — Bowl Championship Series executive director Bill Hancock says the defections of Nebraska and Colorado from the Big 12 will not influence the BCS.
Hancock spoke Friday at the Mid-American Conference's media day at Ford Field in Detroit.
Nebraska announced recently that it will leave the conference for the Big Ten, while Colorado plans to join the Pac-10, along with Utah. The two defections leave the Big 12 with only 10 teams.
Hancock says: "As far as the BCS's future and operation, there's no effect."
He also says any potential playoff system would have to include 16 teams, although he wants it known he's not in favor of a playoff system for college football.

I'm not sure of all the rules on here ...
Are you allowed to say Nebraska can suck it?

"Are you allowed to say Nebraska can suck it?"
Sure you can say it. As long as the "it" that Nebraska is sucking on is playing in a conference with more money, better teams, better academics, better reputation, better television arrangements, and better revenue sharing.
I think ku, ksu, mu, and ISU will find that they are the ones sucking it, and by "it" in this case I mean Bevo's bullocks.

Holers will soon find themselves in the same backwater that Penn State is now in.
At least the Big-12 got rid of the two hind teet nursers in basketball.
Good riddance.

The BCS would never reject a potential big name, influential bowl to any conference that included Texas.
That would be suicide.
