Texas starts legislating trend
By Ivan Maisel, ESPN.com
A Texas state senator recently introduced legislation that would prevent state universities from participating in postseason football unless it is in a national playoff.
The legislation will become law only if four other states from a group of a dozen pass similar legislation. The group of states includes Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina and Washington.
From here, it looks as if the Texas legislators don't think much of the chances of Ohio State or Tennessee. Their legislatures don't count.
'Tis the season for April foolery; however, the above examples are true. In an era when our public servants have many pressing concerns -- education, safety, medical care -- and fewer dollars with which to solve them, these legislators have focused instead on sports.
It's just so touching. It's enough to make a grown man cry, all right.
there are more things on that article but thats the main thing on the possible statewide boycott of college football
