I can only imagine the lobbying by the BcS (capitalization intended because I think that system is mostly BS) and the multitudes of bowl game committees and corporate sponsors that started after that comment. I have problems with the way it is currently run but there are a lot of implications to making this change that he ought to at least give thought to before proposing to "throw his weight around" on an issue that arguably is not in his purview and may not be the best use of his time.

Probably the best outcome of this off the cuff comment is a serious debate and maybe a plan to transition to a playoff system. But lots of people make a living at the current bowl system and it would be a shame to see those jobs lost but maybe even with a playoff system the bowls can survive. Maybe make the bigger bowls the playoff and the lesser bowls like the NIT in college basketball.
