New BCS Logo

Fox Sports hasn't finalized much about its coverage of four college football Bowl Championship Series games next year — but at least it's created a logo.

Fox will inherit those games from ABC, which will continue to show the Rose Bowl as its one remaining BCS game.

As Fox puts together its game plan, Fox Sports President Ed Goren says it isn't "necessarily realistic" to think Fox, which doesn't have regular-season college football packages, will be able to borrow announcers from networks that do. "Although it's possible, we'll be able to cherry-pick an announcer or two."

Goren, after meeting with various college officials, also says it's "a long shot" that Fox will be able to microphone coaches or get unusual access.

He says he's tried to make the case that Fox is trying to be benevolent rather than intrusive by citing CBS' NCAA basketball tournament coverage in which CBS was allowed into George Mason's locker room after the long shot had been eliminated.

Viewers saw coach Jim Larranaga tell his players he was proud of them.

"That was a wonderfully warm moment that says everything you want to know about college sports," Goren says.

I'm really nervous about this...their coverage of the Cotton Bowl the past few years has been spotty at best. I just hope those idiots that do the 11:30 FSN big 12 game don't get a spot. Knoxy, you listening?

Stupid stupid Cox and Sinclair.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Keith Jackson retiring?

What's worse? My life doesn't get HD until I can set up an appointment with that danged eye doctor.

But seriously if Fox does cover like they did at the cotton bowl than it's a disappointment, but if they cover like the NFL, than I'm aboard.

This blows. Even though ABC sucks most of the time,they do a good job with the BCS bowls. Brent's crew is usually the best. Many hate him, but I think he makes games very exciting. Just my opinion.

I've never actually paid attention to the fact that you never hear the coaches on the sideline...

I wouldn't worry too much about that Kyle...by the time your team is back in a bcs game another network may own the rights. ;)

[RumbleBritches]

Put BCS on anything and it'll look like crap....the new logo should look like this:

i think we're all in agreement that the logo sucks.... no?

what sucks even more - someone got paid a butt ton of money for that.

even worse - they're probably proud of it.

Amen to that...

[StoopTroup]

Holy crap, what a POS logo!
Agreed.

LAME!

The Crystal Ball should be the center piece of the logo IMO.

Although...this one is pretty ugly.

18 teams?!? You have got to be ****ing kidding me!

[OUstud]

Even better, they'll probably take a page from the World Series coverage and add stupid sound effects like a race car or reintroduce us to Scooter.

How right you are...

So that anyone who gets lucky can win a National Championship? Sorry, I'd rather get snubbed a few times in the BCS than see OSU or someone undeserving work a tourney over. What's next to ruin college football? Free agency? Drafting?
