Lets see, unemployment is hovering around 10%, the economy is in the toilet, what should we do today? hey, lets regulate college football!

Because if they do this, they hold off what they are doing now to use it add a bargaining chip and blame all there berkeley ups on the other guys.

Ron Paul wouldn't let this E36 M3 fly.

‎"In election years, politicians don't take risks," said Jed Kolko, the chief economist at real estate data firm Trulia. "Election years are more talk and less action. They can't risk any more after the summer's grueling debt ceiling debate that led to a Standard & Poor's August downgrade in the nation's credit ratings and the lack of results from the super committee in hashing out a plan to cut the federal budget impaired American confidence in Congress.

Cuz the best thing to do in a crisis is sit on your hands and "wait for this to all blow over".

Given that while they're in session they've argued the Stop Online Piracy Act, which is still on track to ruin the internet and the National Defense Authorization Act, which will allow the military to imprison indefinitely otherwise innocent American citizens... I think I'd rather them ruin Football.

Exactly. Just another distraction tactic while they go about eviscerating the Bill of Rights and regulating speech.

Football! School lunches! Let's fight about what to call Christmas!

We're doomed. I'm moving to Australia.

That's a joke, right?

Look at it this way: If they keep themselves busy doing this sort of thing, they won't be berkeleying up something that matters. Downside is, they won't be fixing anything that matters either, but that wasn't likely to happen anyway.
