-- BCS national championship many fans have been complaining about how -- -- spring's college seems.
It seems that didn't get -- ball game always found someone who has a simple and easy way to rank these teams.
Joining me now on the phone from Miami is Eugene -- -- young president.
-- ETL associates.
Eugene get out their first what exactly you do you represent players in the NF ballot that cracked.
That is correct we have an NFL agency based out of New York City.
We -- presented -- but.
So and so how these bowl games or let's just say the national championship for example this is taking place in Miami tonight.
It -- these -- on the big screen prime time.
You know what do for the schools itself do you feel.
Brooke army is going to be gonna bring in a tremendous amount of -- -- each program.
Being in Alabama Notre -- gets to extort programs to legendary -- in the college football.
-- and each school can't walk away with between twenty and -- -- billion dollars each.
Wow by -- in the and I -- out and it does a lot for the area in which the game is hosted in Miami where by the way just a few nights ago they hosted the orange ball.
What do you what sort of impact will this city of Miami -- from the -- Here it's eight -- hospitality and tourism industries just.
Were achieved record numbers I think over the past we -- past few days I mean they're gonna be really raking it hotels restaurants.
The orange -- with no disrespect to without Illinois.
Little less -- marquee matchup British areas so it's great that they can already orange ball up with.
Match of this nature.
Well you bring up that you bring up that idea and that northern -- university in.
Obviously a lot of people had an issue -- took issue with the fact that they made it to the orange ball over arguably much better teams.
That it -- however they did put up -- good fight I wanna say that watched that game.
They did lose but nears.
A big argument out there that says we should change the -- -- this -- yes.
Is run altogether you have an idea for that I'm guessing if playoffs.

That is calculating the EPS ranking them all people -- -- percentage points.
But they don't know how you how the computer get there.
And I believe that we're -- to get support from the equation -- he'd pick in the process that and instituting a fourteen playoff.
So I'm still confused so I yes it well -- don't know how we could be CS rankings occurred but there's coaches there's win loss record there's a lot of things that -- -- doing it.
-- saying simplify this this done.
And be more specific as I think a lot of people are interested to hear what you're saying.
I think what you need yeah.
It's just make this system so easily understood by the average cost -- -- that there can be no right no bickering in these.
If they don't Peter seen in the bowl game they wanna be they're seen buying.
You have factors I think you look at won lost record that that -- -- -- breakfast schedule.
Record vs common opponent average margin of victory.
Conference in which in place and finally the name -- distributes -- subject category but the name recognition historic tradition -- football program.
And that last factor it is subjective but they have the truth is the elephant in the room is that revenue generation.
Is a major concern -- not be concerned primary concern -- -- it.
EG we take you take your -- and consideration -- it's a great ideas however somebody's always gonna be left out -- always gonna have a problem with that.
And by the way the current system sort of -- some of those schools like and I EO I -- we have to leave it there you Jamie thank you for joining us it was.
