He's formed (forming) a company called Radical Football LLC with the goal of privatizing the college football postseason.
The thought is take "x" amount of money (say $500 million), put it in a bank, invite certain teams to participate and payouts go from there. You'd keep certain aspects of the bowl season and add in more of a private payout. The bowls would still make money and the schools would still make money. If a school from a non traditional power league has a great year and looks to be a top team, they have a chance at participating in this private "championship" whether or not their league belonged to some predetermined "BCS" league.
Is the idea perfect? No, but it does start to address 1) the problems with the BCS and 2) keeps the history of the bowls.
I hold no allusion this will come about, but I like the fact someone is trying to offer a solution instead of saying "the BCS sucks, get rid of it". That on its own is not going to happen without a viable option to it. To much money is involved at this point in the current structure of the BCS with many powerful programs collecting a huge payday every year.
What are your thoughts?
