Paper Champions
By Coll Flemming as told to David T. Gaines

College football must establish playoffs where a true national champion emerges so that every school that puts a team on the gridiron has an opportunity to become national champion.
Anyone who has seen his favorite college football team kept out of the big bowl, dropped from the top twenty-five bowl rankings, or passed-over for a post season bowl bid is a natural friend of the court in David Gaines’ fantasy lawsuit to quell the BSC and right the wrongs of major college football.
In Paper Champions, Gaines creates the character, Coll Flemming, a Gaines alter-ego, who is a journalist and lawyer who despises journalists and lawyers. Coll argues his case before a federal judge in the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, “Your Honor,” he proclaims, “the most obvious problem of the many obvious problems with the Bowl Championship Series is there is no series. There’s one game. One game! I can imagine no more clear definition of a monopoly than a system which declares the winner of one game, national champion over one hundred and seventeen football teams.”
Paper Champions hits hard at the BCS for controlling who qualifies for that one so-called national championship game for Division 1-A football—even though the NCAA has never crowned a national champion in D-1 A football.
