In case we've had any notions about reported BCS proposals being good for the little guys, all we really need to do is look at who's doing the proposing:
According to a person in the room at Monday's BCS meeting, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany pitched a model whereby only the No. 1 and No. 2 teams would be matched in the postseason. That would basically eliminate the other BCS bowl tie-ins in the 14-year-old system.
The proposal essentially is a roll back to the old Bowl Alliance that was in effect from 1995-97. On its face, the proposal seemingly benefits the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and Pac-12 the most.

Didn’t he threaten the Non-AQ conferences about this possibility last year?
