More Dumb Republicans

Republican Senator Orrin Hatch and Representative Joe Barton are leading a Congressional effort to investigate the NCAA's Bowl Championship Series in college football.

Politicians think they can curry favor with voters by taking a popular stand, since many would like to see a playoff system in college football. But the government has no business investigating the organization of college football.

The government isn't the arbiter of every difference of opinion in the country. Its scope of responsibilities relate to the legitimate functions of government.

If the legitimate functions of government include determining the proper structure of college football playoffs, then we take further steps toward an all-intrusive government.
