It's all about money. The Big XII rakes in nearly 30 million with 8 bowl tie ins. We would not get near that much under a playoff system. The Big 10, Big East, ACC, Pac-10 and SEC has the same concern. That is why we do not have a playoff system. Nothing else.

I know it's all about money, but I've never understood how it's an argument against a playoff, because you can have both. The 8 teams that make the BCS bowls will be the playoff teams and the other tie-ins will go to the other bowls. The payouts for making the playoffs can be the same as they are now, and I assume since you get more money for making the BCS Championship game than the other BCS bowls, there would be bonuses equal to that difference for advancing. What's the problem?
