Cuban wants to kill the BCS.

I figured this would probably stir up some interesting discussion. So apparently Mark Cuban is looking into abandoning his aspirations of becoming a MLB owner, and setting his sights on possibly trying to fund a playoff system for college football. I'm not sure I agree with the way it seems to be laid out in this article, but I am definitely pro playoffs for college football. This could get interesting if Cuban is serious.

Some excerpts from the story:

After two failed bids to buy a Major League Baseball team, billionaire Mark Cuban is seriously considering trying to use his money to create a playoff alternative to college football's Bowl Championship Series.

Cuban, the outspoken owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, told ESPNDallas.com on Wednesday that he is "actively interested but in the exploratory stage" of creating and funding a playoff system to crown a champion for major college football.

"The more I think about it, the more sense it makes as opposed to buying a baseball team," said Cuban, who tried to buy the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers within the last few years. "You can do something the whole country wants done."

Cuban said he envisions either a 12- or 16-team playoff field with the higher seeds getting homefield advantage. The homefield advantage, Cuban said, would ensure the college football regular-season games would not lose any importance.
