An even better question to follow on to this: Would this goody-two-shoes conference then become corrupt to obtain the rewards of the BCS games? Would they sell-out their good behavior that earned them this treat they wouldn't ever have had otherwise? Should the NCAA offer a reward of a BCS game to teams with the best behavior? Or maybe just a cash prize to the school with the best record but the least despicable behavior, since a team that's 0-11 playing in a BCS game against thugs wouldn't be very good competition. I'd say it'd be a nice gesture. Then the 0-11 teams could build up a program. Getting $10M from the NCAA could build a new facility and a bonus $10M match to goto academics...
Having an 0-11 team get slaughtered in a BCS game wouldn't help them build a program. Teams don't get the money from the bowl games, it goes to their conference where it is divided up by all teams. That is why the conferences try and get alliances with the bowls. The more alliances and bowl eligible teams the more money they get to split. (the teams do get a certain amount of the money for expenses and such)

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Having all of those teams in one conference would give a major advantage to the highest ranking team that didn't make it in. I believe if it was me I would take my chances with the other 107 teams that didn't make it. Your odds of making it to the championship game would be better, even with the super conference having a guaranteed bid.

A bowl game that pays BCS money has to get BCS ratings, otherwise no one will pay. Do you really think a 0-11 team against a 10-2 team would draw well?

I don't know if they should be gone for a DUI or drug conviction. There should be a program and punishment in place, and it should be followed. I would agree on things like robbery, assault, or rape if convicted. They likely wouldn't be fired from their job in the real world for a DUI or a drug conviction, why should this be different?
