Big news or background noise, those words flashes through my mind as another scandal involving college football strikes again. It's like clock work, the BCS system creates buzz around college football season while controversy turns up during the off-season to help remind people that college football is only a few months away. This cycle has gone on for so long that these supposed breaking news stories have become background noise. Everyone who follows college football could easily predict the outcome of Jim Tressel and deep down inside every fan knows that the BCS system is not going to change any time soon so why even spend the man power on ESPN covering the same old news that never changes. Sportscenter should consider it breaking news when something newsworthy happens, like the BCS finally being shutdown for good or that the NCAA is actually going to uphold its standards toward all teams equally. That's when you should roll out your 24 hour coverage and analysis. Cause right not, it's all background noise.
