Big Ten Commissioner: BCS is Forever

Jim Delaney: “The perception that the Big Ten and Pac-10 are holding this back is not right. We're seen as obstructionists when we did what we did to evolve the system. The calls for change are external. Ask others here how strongly they feel for a call for change. I don't see it. I think there are a lot of other people who like where they are, but they should say it. There are others in the room who like where we're at. There are no raised voices here. Everybody's mind is open for discussion. The burden for change is on those who want change. The BCS has had controversy, but it's done some things well. I think everybody would have to concede it has done some things well. Even when the coaches and sportswriters were determining the national champion, there was controversy. I don't think there's any doom or gloom about the regular season or postseason.”
