Mark Cuban considering plan to end BCS, start NCAA playoff
Is Mark Cuban the man who can take down the BCS?
The Dallas Mavericks owner is interested in creating a postseason playoff tournament using money as a lure. He told ESPN he is "actively interested but in the exploratory stage" of such a system.
"The more I think about it, the more sense it makes as opposed to buying a baseball team," Cuban told ESPN. "You can do something the whole country wants done."
Bowl games could occur concurrently with Cuban's proposed plan, which would involve a 12- or 16-team field. He told ESPN he has begun talking to college athletic directors who have shown interest, and plans to approach school presidents next.
"Put $500 million in the bank and go to all the schools and pay them money as an option," Cuban said. "Say, 'Look, I'm going to give you X amount every five years. In exchange, you say if you're picked for the playoff system, you'll go.' "

actually he wants what everyone else wants except for the creedy top core football/atheltic directors. They dont want a playoff due to money it takes away from what they get at respective bowls and such now. His approach is kind of directing them towards that, but it is still a pipe dream. Until directors care what fans want they will stay the course and continue to line thiers, and thier programs pockets
