The fight against NCAA oppression

“A House subcommittee approved a bill Wednesday that would prohibit the NCAA from dubbing its title contest a “national championship” unless it switches to a playoff system.”

The bill was proposed by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX).  And I was under the impression that no one gave a shit about college football.

This from our friends at Slate. The only thing more terrifying than the title is the study that backs it up.

Based on domestic violence police reports from the years 1995-2006, the report finds that when an NFL game ends in an upset, the home state of the losing team experiences a sudden, brief uptick in domestic violence.

There’s more to it of course, and if you’re interested in it’s entirety then check out the Slate link at the top of the post, but just by this you’re probably thinking the same as I did.

Uh-Whaaa?
