BigCougsFanOhio St.'s President Gordon Gee supported the BCS and the way it is set up. Gee doesn't believe schools like Boise St. and TCU deserve a shot,
This upset Boise St.'s and TCU's Presidents and they fired back at his remarks. They basically said what all us fans of non-BCS schools have been saying all along.
Bob Kustra, Boise St.'s President
These guys are getting more and more arrogant as time goes on. Like it said in this article by Kustra, these Presidents at these schools need to stand for equality in each university. Clearly Gordon Gee is blinded by all the millions his school has made from the BCS-system, and all Ohio St. had to do was win their lousy conference each year, and they're making more money than every.

Well, I don't know enough about the X's and O's of college football,'' said Gee, formerly the president at West Virginia, Colorado, Brown and Vanderbilt. ''I do know, having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it's like murderer's row every week for these schools.

Bob Kustra, Boise St.'s President
Said it was hypocritical of Ohio State and all of the major BCS conferences to demean teams such as Boise State. He said most of those conferences refuse to schedule his school.
''It's easy for the presidents to talk, but ask the ADs when's the last time that they seriously entertained taking requests or inviting Boise State to (play them),'' Kustra said. ''If you're Boise State or TCU, they're going to want to steer way clear of you.''
He said he had phone records that would prove that Boise State had tried to schedule home-and-home games with Top 25 teams from the BCS conferences, but that they would not play the Broncos anywhere but at their home stadium.
''The formula these days for BCS teams is get seven or eight home games, play one non-conference game against a team from another BCS league, schedule three or four patsies and try not to leave the state if you can help it,
He also said that the SEC's Florida Gators have not left the state to play a non-conference, regular-season opponent since 1991.
