A few days after naming Bill Hancock the first Executive Director of the BCS we are learning some of the details of the new job responsibilities.  Bill Hancock has been assigned the dubious task of bringing the BCS into the social networking undercurrent of the internet.

The BCS now has a Facebook page and an active Twitter account.  Launching a new campaign titled "Inside the BCS" the masses have been flooding the sites with playoff ideas and enough venom to kill a whale.  I can attest to the fact that it is Bill Hancock behind the curtain of both sites.

The Facebook page features the most elegant argument I have heard against the BCS:

Mr. Hancock,

I am exchange student from Mumbai. I am enrolled for study at the Alabama University. I am confused and I have question. I am certain that my Crimson Tides will defeat the Florida Gators. (alligators?) But I am concerned of the Cincinatti Bears/Cats. I do not see the Bears/Cats on the schedule. When do my Tides have to play the Bears/Cats?

Thank you sir, for your reply.

And he is listening.  He is responding to posts sent to him via twitter.  These are visible by looking up @INSIDEtheBCS.  If you hear the BCS referring to C-USA, the MAC, the MWC, the Sun Belt and the WAC as at-large conferences you can thank me for coining that term.

But the table is not only expanded to give the public a view behind the curtain.  All 11 conferences will now have a seat at the table when the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee meets. 

Perhaps the BCS listened this summer when I suggested that if the best possible system is to be implemented for 2014 the time to start a plan to do so is now. 

This much I know.  The idea of a stand alone championship bowl has failed and continued knee-jerk reactions will lead to the further eroding of the BCS and the bowl system it desires to preserve.
