Fox Sports says it has decided not to match ESPN’s offer to air the Bowl Championship Series from 2011-14, leaving the door open for the cable network to acquire the rights.

The network released a statement Monday saying it made a “very competitive bid” even with “today’s vast economic uncertainties” but that BCS officials weren’t satisfied.

Fox had a four-year, $320 million deal to broadcast the BCS games from 2007-10.

ESPN is now in prime position to get the bowl games, and has previously met with BCS officials. The cable network’s broadcast partner ABC already has the rights to the Rose Bowl.

ESPN does a good job with college football I think, so they will do a good job with the BCS. Though I think they should change the BCS to a tournament format. I never really understood why a tournament isnt in place already, considering the money the NCAA makes off the Basketball tournaments.
