The BCS conferences all claim that it's the weekly grind of their conference schedule that really sets them apart from the non-BCS conferences.  However, that debate has no empirical evidence to support the disparity of financial support between the BCS and non-BCS conferences.  Further, even with limited access to the BCS bowls, the non-BCS conferences have performed quite well.  Oh yes, please don't forget the BCS teams generally have a valid reason for a let down whenever playing a non-BCS team in the BCS bowls!

This year the MW Champion may have another shot at busting the BCS bowl party.  If so, it could be in New Orleans!
