Mavs Owner Mark Cuban is looking into starting a REAL NCAA Championship Playoff system for College Football.

s

Mark Cuban has always been one of the most outspoken proponents of marketing in the NBA. But he has interests far beyond that sport. He attempted to buy the Chicago Cubs but was rebuffed by the Old Boys Club known as Major League Baseball. Now he has another idea and this one is something I can really get behind–He wants to finance a true NCAA Playoff system. He told ESPNDallas.com: “The more I think about it, the more sense it makes as opposed to buying a baseball team. You can do something the whole country wants done.”

There are precedents for starting a true playoff. Pryor to the first NCAA Basketball National Championship Tournament, the National Invitational Tournament was the “unofficial” championship. It took a few years before the NIT became a footnote and the NCAA Tournament became the central focus as the “real” championship.

Cuban wants to replace the BcS and most of the football world (except the pinhead ivy covered college presidents) agrees it should go. Cuban is totally correct that there would be a lot more money generated by a national playoff than by the 34 bowl games plus the BcS Championship game.

Best comment of the week:

Comment on The NBA Playoffs are rounding first and staggering toward second. by Free T Shirts: Cleveland is on a mission. I like the way Lebron is taking the team on his shoulders and pushing them to sweep teams. He has help this year but he’s making sure there are no slip-ups.

There is no question that the difference between the Lakers and the Cavs is Lebron. Kobe has the better and deeper team. Lebron has the leadership that Kobe Bryant lacks. That plus home court will be the difference IF the Lakers make it past Houston and Denver.

Updates on previous columns:

NBA Playoffs—What have we learned? One of the things we have learned is that the Lakers don’t seem to be able to put a team away when they have a chance. They allowed the Rockets to tie up the series 3-3 after a lackluster 95-80 loss Thursday night. The Celtics are no better at locking up the deal as they too allowed an underdog Orlando Magic team to tie their series as well. Neither of these teams look like champions to me.

Mavericks' Owner Mark Cuban is a punk!

t

Mark Cuban was mad after the Mavs blew a playoff game against the Denver Nuggets and proved what a wimpy punk he is. Did he go up to the 6-9 240 pound PF Kenyon Martin and say something? No.

What he did was to insult the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the visiting Nuggets players calling the team thugs. But that was not enough for the emotionally underdeveloped punk Cuban. He then pointed at the mother of Martin and reportedly said “Your son is a punk.”

For those that have forgotten, this pinhead is the same guy that financed the alkida propaganda film Redacted in which US soldiers commit horrible crimes against innocent civilians in Iraq. While it totally bombed here, it is still being shown in the Middle East and according to several intelligence reports has become a recruiting film for our enemy. He is helping to recruit people to kill US soldiers during a war. If that had happened during the Civil War, Pres. Lincoln would have had Cuban’s butt in jail for the duration of the conflict.

Cuban is a constant humiliation to the NBA. When he attempted to buy his way into baseball by bidding on … Read more at FryingPanSports
