Texas Tech coach offers unique idea to break BCS tie - | 10:36:43

Texas Tech Head Coach Mike Leach has an idea to settle the BCS mess: Use the football programs' respective graduation rates. Last month an NCAA report showed Texas Tech with a 79 percent graduation rate, well ahead of Texas (50 percent) and Oklahoma (46 percent).

"I think they should break that three-way tie based on graduation rate. I think the Big 12 conference should have an executive session [immediately]," Leach said. "When they do that, they will find that no one's more deserving than the Red Raiders."

If the NCAA really is about holding schools accountable for their academic success, then something like what Leach is suggesting makes good sense.

I think Coach Leach's idea is a great one it should have serious consideration/discussion before it's either inacted or tabled.

I dont feel that this is an issue of lack of opportunities for black head coaches...administrators want to hire the best individual for the job regardless of ethnicity or skin color.
