The conference is now 9-6 in New Year’s Six bowl games. MEMPHIS IN THE NEW YEAR’S SIX • This marked the first New Year’s Six appearance for Memphis, who earned a berth as the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion. • The American Athletic Conference has been the Group of Five representative in four of the six years of the CFP, and the conference now owns a 2-2 record in the New Year’s Six.

  • Tax Irregularities of Bowl Championship Series
    TAX IRREGULARITIES OF BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ORGANIZATIONS ABOUT PLAYOFF PAC Launched with support from key Members of Congress in October 2009, Playoff PAC is the principal opposition group to college football’s Bowl Championship Series. Playoff PAC’s website is located at www.PlayoffPAC.com. Playoff PAC is a federal political committee dedicated to establishing a competitive post- season championship for college football. The Bowl Championship Series is inherently flawed. It crowns champions arbitrarily and stifles inter-conference competition. Fans, players, schools, and corporate sponsors will be better served when the BCS is replaced with an accessible playoff system that recognizes and rewards on-the-field accomplishment. To that end, Playoff PAC helps elect pro-reform political candidates, mobilizes public support, and provides a centralized source of pro-reform news, thought, and scholarship. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Playoff PAC thanks all members of its volunteer team and its Board of Directors for contributing to this report, with special appreciation to Cole Nielsen Design for their work on the graphic layout. © Playoff Political Action Committee, Inc. 2010 P.O.

  • THE BOWL 'CHARITY' SERIES the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Plays a Major Role in the World of College Athletics. Every
    THE BOWL ‘CHARITY’ SERIES The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) plays a major role in the world of college athletics. Every year, the BCS decides the NCAA Division I football National Champion. The BCS is comprised of four “Bowl Organizations” that each enjoy 501(c)(3) tax exempt status as charitable public benefit organizations, and each has done so since World War II. These Bowl Organizations are the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Fiesta Bowl. The IRS, in their Letters of Recognition of 501(c)(3) status to each Bowl Organization, states that the public benefit these organizations offer is “educational.” Despite being considered “charitable” organizations for tax purposes, the BCS Bowl Organizations are currently under attack for instead serving private interests. Although the actual percentage of revenues a “charitable” organization donates to charitable causes is not a true indicia of being considered a “charitable organization” for 501(c)(3) status, it is a good measurement to compare with an organization’s other expenditures. In 2011, the BCS held 23 bowl games that produced $186.3 million. The total charitable contribution for the BCS was $3.2 million, or a mere 1.7% of revenue. When considering whether a Bowl Organization fails the private inurement requirement of the operational test for 501(c)(3) status, it will not “look good” if the organization paid its Executive Officers more in salary and benefits than money they donated to charitable causes.1 The most criticized Bowl Organization of the four is surely the Fiesta Bowl. In the last Fiesta Bowl on January 2013, the Oregon Ducks defeated the Kansas State Wildcats in Glendale, AZ.

  • Allstate Sugar Bowl Monday, December 28, 2020 CFP Playoff Semifinal
    Allstate Sugar Bowl Monday, December 28, 2020 CFP Playoff Semifinal Ohio State Quarterback Justin Fields On past scoring struggles against Clemson’s defense: “It just comes down to executing. From the [offensive] line, to the receivers, to me, and to the running back. If everybody executes on our side of the ball, then we’ll be fine and put the ball in the endzone.” On his personal play: “To be honest, I feel like everything happens for a reason. But, what happened in those [Northwestern and Indiana] games and me not playing as well as I wanted to, maybe God was sending me a message that I need to do more and work harder. So, that is kind of how I am looking at it. I am looking at it as a challenge. For this game [Sugar Bowl], I have been preparing my butt off. I have not prepared like this the whole season so maybe I played the way I did because God was just trying to tell me, for this game, that I need to lock in and prepare for this game. I am not necessarily mad [about past struggles] but I was mad after the [Northwestern and/or Indiana game]. But, now I am just motivated.” On playing to the highest level coming into the Sugar Bowl: “I think it is very important, of course. It is the [College Football] Playoff. Every team in the country wants to be in the spot that we [Ohio State] are in right now. We have to take advantage of this opportunity that we have now and make the most out of it.
