Mark Cuban: Could Mavs' Owner Bring Down the BCS?

Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and attempted owner of the Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers, is taking on his biggest challenge yet (yes, bigger than David Stern): the BCS.

Cuban's been reading the book "Death to the BCS", and has decided that funding a playoff that would put an end to the unpopular system could potentially be a fantastic business venture.

The energetic owner of the Mavs has supposedly spoken to athletic directors from BCS conferences, who say they're enthusiastic about the idea.

Cuban says it would take three or four years to get a playoff system fully implemented, and while bowls would still exist, it would become much more profitable for a team to make his playoff system than it would be for them to make a bowl game.

Cuban has dabbled in many things since taking over as owner of the Mavs. The internet billionaire has attempted to buy both the Cubs and Rangers of Major League Baseball, and has been a constant bug in NBA commissioner David Stern's ear since taking control of the Mavericks.
