Third And Extremely Long: Why The Elimination Of The Bcs Seems All But Impossible, Brad Taconi

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

On January 8, 2009, the University of Florida Gators defeated the University of Oklahoma Sooners in Miami, Florida to win the Bowl Championship Series (“BCS”) Championship Game.
