Earlier this week, the longtime President of the Fiesta Bowl was fired, putting the Fiesta Bowl in jeopardy. The Big 12 has a contractual agreement to send its champion to the Fiesta Bowl if that team is not playing for the national championship. Meaning, the Fiesta Bowl is rather important to the Big 12. The BCS issued a stern statement this week saying the Fiesta Bowl must prove it is worthy of remaining one of the four games that make up the system. BCS executive director Bill Hancock has said the BCS has the authority to revoke the Fiesta Bowl's BCS status even though the event has three years remaining on its contract.
