How has access been improved for schools from conferences that do not have automatic berths?
From the very beginning, the BCS bowls have been open to all Division I-Aconferences and institutions. Members of those conferences whose champions don’t have annual automatic bids to the BCS bowls now have an even greater chance of qualifying for one because: • A conference champion will play in a BCS game if it is ranked among the top 12 teams in the final BCS standings. Previously, a team had to finish in the top six to earn an automatic berth. • The 2006 expansion of the BCS field from eight to ten teams doubled the number of potential at-large spots from two to four. Any Division I-A program can qualify for at-large consideration if it wins nine or more games and is ranked 14 or higher in the BCS standings. What do the TV deals entail? FOX Sports has an exclusive four-year agreement covering all broadcasting and sponsorship rights for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, FedEx Orange Bowl and Allstate Sugar Bowl from 2007 through 2010. FOX also has the same rights for the BCS National Champi
