Accusations that the BCS has killed sportsmanship

This article does a good job of discussing the University Wisconsin football team's 83-20 crushing of Indiana this past weekend. The author is right in that the mysterious BCS standings encourage coaches to run up the score and otherwise brutalize their opponents. The author is incorrect in asserting this has anything to do with a lack of respect or sportsmanship. If I am not mistaken, the Badgers had their backup backups in. The offense is supposed to score points. Everything you do and learn as an offensive player is based on scoring points. Now we have to tell the offense to stop scoring points? That is insane, and I say that as someone who once lost a high school football game 64-0.

Comments:
OF COURSE, Wisconsin had backups in. They aren't going to risk injury just to rock the BCS. The fact of the matter is they are a really really deep team and were playing at home. Not like the NYT would research that.
