There are times for desperation, but this may hit an all time low for Yankee Stadium (speaking like the true Yankee historian that I am not), but after the ridiculousness that is known as the new Yankee stadium ticket prices, the front office has decided to sell the rights of the stadium to NCAA for one of the many pointless bowl games. How pointless do you ask? It will be the be the ferocious match up between a fourth place Big East team against a seventh place Big 12 team in 2012. WHOA!! When do those tickets go on sale?! I'm going right now to buy a tent to wait for them. At least it makes sense having a Big East team playing somewhere remotely near the schools' location, so they may have some people coming to the game. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg expects over 40,000 fans and roughly $47 million to the city, "Nobody stages big events like the Big Apple. We've got the experience, we've got the resources, and we've got the spirit. It's a win for the fans of both teams playing, and it's a win for New York." With this we have two of the evils in the world of sports combining, the greed of New York teams and the awful BCS system that dishes out terrible bowl games. Whoopee.
