Many people may have the same sentiment but there are a few problems. The first is that any educator/administrator wants the best for their kids. The BCS conferences traditionally produce the best teams. If you make your own league and decrease the amount you compete against BCS schools, the team suffers by not competing against high level talent. The other problem is that if your argument is correct that it is hard to get TV time now, if they create their own league then they will get even less TV Time. Less TV time and no BCS money drastically reduces revenue, which then hurts the quality of athlete a school can recruit. The non-BCS schools need the money so they will stay in. The best solution really is a playoff, somewhere between 4 and 16 teams. It is feasible if the Big Ten and Pac Ten will suck up their tradition and participate. The Big 12 (previously the Big 8) sucked it up when they lost their historic position in the orange bowl and have created a new tradition with the Fiesta Bowl. No good reason to not have a playoff.
