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.' "
