Bowl Championship Senes. But the guys who run it don't have to go through the next six weeks, let alone the next six years, watching their brand being kicked around like a rusty can everywhere from the Oval Office down to the comer tavern . · All they have to do is change. A little. Start by admitting their mistake last spring in shooting down a proposal from outgoing BCS chief Mike Slive that effectively would have allowed for a fourteam playoff with a few modificattons of the existing system. Then start seriously reconsidering it this .week. There 's no time like the present and nobody , after all, who loves tweaking things more than they do . Under threat of a lawsuit from the mid-major conferences, the BCS added a fifth bowl to its postseason roster in 2006, ostensibly to make it easier for small schools to qualify for one of the bigmoney games as an "atlarge" invitee. What Slive proposed was that whenever the regular season ended the way this one likely will - with thre.e or more deserving contenders . and only two · slots available in the BCS national championship gamethat the fifth bowl be used as a so-called "plus-one." Like the current championship game, it would be played a week after' the four · BCS bowls. What's different is that one or both of the slots in the "plus-one" wouldn't be filled until those games had been decided. It's not as democratic as the eight-team playoff that most fans favor and president-elect Barack Obama pushed in two separat.: TV appearances last month. And it would certainly raise a ruckus from any conference that lost a second BCS powl slot to make room if the contender that replaced it was drawn from a different league. . But the "plus-one" would go a long way toward plugging the holes in a system that's leaking credibility like a sieve - and will for years to come. College football is careening toward its most unsatisfying ,conclusion in the I0 yeats since the BCS took control of the postsea• son, and that's no coincidence. With more parity in the sport and more schools playing 12 games during the regular season (and 13 for those from conferences with title games), the chances that teams will separate themselves from the pack by going undefeated $eems less with each passing year. If Florida beats Alabama in the SEC championship game, Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 title game (more on that in a moment), and USC beats UCLA, all ·on tap for the final weekend, this regular season will conclude with seven .one-loss teams from the six major BCS confer, ences and almost as many potential headaches. · At the moment, Texas. looks like the recipient of · the BCS ' annual " life-i sn'tfair" award. The Longhorns have already been denied the chance to play for their conference tttle , despite beating Big 12 South division rival Oklahoma in a head-to-head matchup and finishing with the same Il l record. And Texas Tech , a third member of the Big 12 South, could make almost as good an argu·ment . The Red Raiders also went ll -1 and beat Texas, but got hammered so thoroughly by Oklahoma that unlike his counterparts at both schools. coach Mike Leach has n't wasted much of his breath lobbying . He suggested using graduation rates to break the three-way deadlock. Instead , the Sooners will play North division urvivor Missouri because the Big 12's fifth tiebreaker rule - higher BCS rating - gave . them the nod over Texas. That decision is wrong on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin. · The BCS ranking is made up of three equally weighted components: the USA Today coaches ' and ·Harris Interactive polls , and six computers. The machines aren't entirely withou! bias, since they process whatever information they're given.

The biennial study by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, which evaluates how well higher ed11cation is serving the public, handed out Fs for affordability to 49 states, up from 43 two years. ago. Only California received a passing grade in the category, a C, \hanks to its relatively inexpensive community colleges. ' The report card uses a range of measurements to give states grades, from A to F, on the performance of their public and private colleges. Besides the F for affordability, Ohio aiso received grades of B-minus for preparation and for completion . of bachelor's degrees within six years of enrollment; a C-plus on whether enough people seek higher education to benefit the state; a C-minus for particlpatiQn; and an ".incomplete" for learning, a category meant to measure literacy levels and the perfonnance of college graduales. The affordability grade is based on how much of the average family"s income it costs to go to college. Almost everywhere, that figure is up, according to the survey. Only two states -New York and Temiessee - have made even minimal improvements since 200(), but they're still considered' to be failing. Everywhere else, families must fork over a greater percentage of their income to pay for college In Ohio, the average cost attending a public four-year college has JUmpe!l from 28 percent of ·a family's mcome in 1999-2000 to 39 percent in 2007-2008. Low-income families have been hardest hit Nationally, enrollment at a local public college costs families in the top fifth of income just 9 percent of their earnings, while fami lies from the bottom fifth pay 55 percent - up from 39 percent in 1999-2000. And that's after account in~ for financial aid, which is mc~easingly being used to lure htgh-achtevtng students who boost a school's repu tation, but who don 't need help to go to college. • prep courses. the study· found .ln Texas, for instance, the percentage of high schoolers taking at least one upper-level science course has nearly tripled from 20 percent to 56 percent. But better preparation for .college hasn't translated into better enrollment or completion, with only two states - Arizona and Iowa - receiving an A for partieipation in higher education. And the discrepancy in enrollment between states is still great: Forty-four percent of young Iowans are in college, while jusI 18 percent of their counterparts in Alaska - one of three states to get an Fin the category - are enrolled. Callan said the United . States is at best standin!! still while other countries· pass it in areas like college enrollment and completion. And as higher education fails to keep up with population growth, the specter lurks of new generations less educated than . their Baby Boomer predecessors. · "The educational strength of the American pOpulation is in the group that's about to retire," Callan said.

Senate President Bill Harris, ·. an · Ashland Republican, said Wednesday that Republicans will push a bill to maintain a group systern used to set the rates businesses pay to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. Earlier this month, a Cuyahoga County judge ordered the agency to create by July a new and equitable way to set the rates, which businesses · pay to insure medical, wage loss and other coverages for employ~soinjured on the job. . Republicans say the judge's decision has injected confusion into the setting of rates for the coming year that could be detrimental to b~sinesses trying )o determme elt.penses. State Rep. Bill Batchelder of Medina said the proposal will maintain the status quo until law- makers can look next year at how rates are set. "This changes the law upon which the court made the decision," Batchelder said. He said Gov. Ted Strickland's administration was supportive of the pro posal, but Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said only that the adminis tration had been involved·in discussions whh Batchelder. Bureau spokesman Keary McCarthy said the proposal would .help businesses while allowmg reforms to progress . "BWC recognizes that this draft legislation is intended to avoid economic uncertainty .while allowing for continued reforms that will inip~ove the eq4ity and compettt! veness of Oht.o 's workers compensauon rates," McCarthy said. Attorneys for a group of businesses that . convinced Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Richard McMonagle the agency's group rating structure should be changed are furious that lawmakers are trying to cir cumvent the judge's ruling during the lame-duck leg islative session. "It would . be better to work on the solution now," said Stuart Garson, an attorney with Seaman Garson LLC who represented the seven businesses who challenged the current in . Cuyahoga system County court. "We repre· sent a group of people who have been brutalized by the current system." Garson said there are about 85,000 Ohio businesses - generally 'small businesses - that are subsidizing $200 million worth of artificially low workers' compensation premiums for businesses whose policies are pooled into groups. The pooled polic1es and , pretniums are managed by so-called third party administrators, generally very large companies, who approach groups such as the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and offer the group policies. The businesses in the groups have artificially low rates because the companies that have claims made by employees are then ktcked out, and the higher premium rates that follow are pinned on that business instead of on all the busi- nesses in the group pool. Bureau of Workers ' Compensation Administrator Marsha Ryan wrote in an October 2007 letter that iri 2006, 6,700 employers saw their premiums increase by an average of 697 percent after they were kicked out or the group. About 31 percent of those employers either canceled their workers' compensation insurance or filed for bankruptcy. The bureau partially addressed the discrepancies in the rating system m 2007 by lowering the maximum discount groups get from 90 percent to 85 percent. And m June, the. agency board agreed to lower the maximum discount rate to 77 percent next year. But opponents of the sys: tern say it is still fundamentally unfair. In her letter, Ryan said nine actuarial analyses found that the max1mum discount should be set as low as 60 percent.· Garson · said the inequitable · rale system inflates the base rate that Ohio busjnesses pax. hurting the state's ability to attract and maintain busi ness from surrounding states.

The biennial study by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, which evaluates how well higher ed11cation is serving the public, handed out Fs for affordability to 49 states, up from 43 two years. ago. Only California received a passing grade in the category, a C, \hanks to its relatively inexpensive community colleges. ' The report card uses a range of measurements to give states grades, from A to F, on the performance of their public and private colleges. Besides the F for affordability, Ohio aiso received grades of B-minus for preparation and for completion . of bachelor's degrees within six years of enrollment; a C-plus on whether enough people seek higher education to benefit the state; a C-minus for particlpatiQn; and an ".incomplete" for learning, a category meant to measure literacy levels and the perfonnance of college graduales. The affordability grade is based on how much of the average family"s income it costs to go to college. Almost everywhere, that figure is up, according to the survey. Only two states -New York and Temiessee - have made even minimal improvements since 200(), but they're still considered' to be failing. Everywhere else, families must fork over a greater percentage of their income to pay for college In Ohio, the average cost attending a public four-year college has JUmpe!l from 28 percent of ·a family's mcome in 1999-2000 to 39 percent in 2007-2008. Low-income families have been hardest hit Nationally, enrollment at a local public college costs families in the top fifth of income just 9 percent of their earnings, while fami lies from the bottom fifth pay 55 percent - up from 39 percent in 1999-2000. And that's after account in~ for financial aid, which is mc~easingly being used to lure htgh-achtevtng students who boost a school's repu tation, but who don 't need help to go to college. • prep courses. the study· found .ln Texas, for instance, the percentage of high schoolers taking at least one upper-level science course has nearly tripled from 20 percent to 56 percent. But better preparation for .college hasn't translated into better enrollment or completion, with only two states - Arizona and Iowa - receiving an A for partieipation in higher education. And the discrepancy in enrollment between states is still great: Forty-four percent of young Iowans are in college, while jusI 18 percent of their counterparts in Alaska - one of three states to get an Fin the category - are enrolled. Callan said the United . States is at best standin!! still while other countries· pass it in areas like college enrollment and completion. And as higher education fails to keep up with population growth, the specter lurks of new generations less educated than . their Baby Boomer predecessors. · "The educational strength of the American pOpulation is in the group that's about to retire," Callan said.

Republicans say the judge's decision has injected confusion into the setting of rates for the coming year that could be detrimental to b~sinesses trying )o determme elt.penses. State Rep. Bill Batchelder of Medina said the proposal will maintain the status quo until law- makers can look next year at how rates are set. "This changes the law upon which the court made the decision," Batchelder said. He said Gov. Ted Strickland's administration was supportive of the pro posal, but Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said only that the adminis tration had been involved·in discussions whh Batchelder. Bureau spokesman Keary McCarthy said the proposal would .help businesses while allowmg reforms to progress . "BWC recognizes that this draft legislation is intended to avoid economic uncertainty .while allowing for continued reforms that will inip~ove the eq4ity and compettt! veness of Oht.o 's workers compensauon rates," McCarthy said. Attorneys for a group of businesses that . convinced Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Richard McMonagle the agency's group rating structure should be changed are furious that lawmakers are trying to cir cumvent the judge's ruling during the lame-duck leg islative session. "It would . be better to work on the solution now," said Stuart Garson, an attorney with Seaman Garson LLC who represented the seven businesses who challenged the current in . Cuyahoga system County court. "We repre· sent a group of people who have been brutalized by the current system." Garson said there are about 85,000 Ohio businesses - generally 'small businesses - that are subsidizing $200 million worth of artificially low workers' compensation premiums for businesses whose policies are pooled into groups. The pooled polic1es and , pretniums are managed by so-called third party administrators, generally very large companies, who approach groups such as the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and offer the group policies. The businesses in the groups have artificially low rates because the companies that have claims made by employees are then ktcked out, and the higher premium rates that follow are pinned on that business instead of on all the busi- nesses in the group pool. Bureau of Workers ' Compensation Administrator Marsha Ryan wrote in an October 2007 letter that iri 2006, 6,700 employers saw their premiums increase by an average of 697 percent after they were kicked out or the group. About 31 percent of those employers either canceled their workers' compensation insurance or filed for bankruptcy. The bureau partially addressed the discrepancies in the rating system m 2007 by lowering the maximum discount groups get from 90 percent to 85 percent. And m June, the. agency board agreed to lower the maximum discount rate to 77 percent next year. But opponents of the sys: tern say it is still fundamentally unfair. In her letter, Ryan said nine actuarial analyses found that the max1mum discount should be set as low as 60 percent.· Garson · said the inequitable · rale system inflates the base rate that Ohio busjnesses pax. hurting the state's ability to attract and maintain busi ness from surrounding states.

Savage and his staff have begun preparing for free agency and will soon begin work on next year's draft. Savage is pushing ahead. "Life goes on,.business as usual continues," he said. There's no denying Savage has substantially upgraded the talent on Cleveland's roster. However, .he has been criticized for not being visible, and his mishandling of - ~"­ era! off· field . situations most notably tight end Kellen Winslow's hospitalization for a staph infection - thts season has led to speculation he may. be fired following the season.

The screenings for team owners, producers and journalists will use technology developetl by 3ality Digital, a Burbank, Calif.-based company whose major investor is the family of Art 'Modell, owners of the Baltimore Ravens from 1996 to 2004 . "We are merely doing a test for our friends at the NFL to show them definitively .that this digital 3-D technology is now ," said David Modell, 47 , former Ravens president and chairman of 3ality. "This is not something we're hoping will happen . This is now." Eight 3-D camera crews will sidle up to 2-D counterparts to catch the game between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers Thursday eve ning . The 2-D crews will work on behalf of the NFL Network , while the 3D crews will work for the test hroadcast, which will have its own commentators. 3-D viewers must don polarized lenses to see the action . Attendees at the Boston screening are to include New . England Patriots owner Robert ·Kraft, who leads the NFL Broadcasting Committee and will help shape how the league uses 3-D. The New York screening will host Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, New York Giants co-owner John Mara, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson and Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, another broadcasting committee member. "All this right now is an experiment ," said Howard Katz, the National Football move into 3-D until a good League ·s senior vice presi- fairy comes flapping into dent of broadcasting and my office with a check." media operations.

They showed VIP gl!ests a live 3-D transmission of the NBA AllStar game in Las Vegas and followed up with a 3-D transmission of Game 2 of the NBA finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers .
