[LEFT]The roughly $30,000 Waterford crystal football that tops the trophy from the American Football Coaches Association fell and shattered on Saturday when the father of an Alabama player caught his foot on a rug where the trophy stood at Alabama's Mal Moore Athletic Facility, according to CNN affiliate WIAT and ESPN's Alex Scarborough.
[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Rare, perhaps, but Alabama isn't the first Southeastern Conference school to see its BCS trophy fall to pieces.When high school recruit Orson Charles visited Florida in 2008, the tight end knocked over Florida's 2006 championship trophy, the Anniston Star reported. Charles ended up playing for SEC rival Georgia.

Probably because other conferences don't have many crystal footballs to break.

Not entirely correct. List of NC's both before and after the BCS:

Big 10 = 40 (Michigan-11, Minnesota-6, Ohio State-7, Illinois-4, Michigan State-4, Penn State-4, Iowa-1)
SEC = 30 (Alabama-12, Tennessee-4, LSU-4, Florida-3, Georgia-2, Ole Miss-2, Auburn-2, Arkansas-1)
Big 12 = 19 (Oklahoma-7, Nebraska-5, Texas-4, Texas A&M-2, Colorado-1)
PAC 10 = 15 (Southern Cal-8, Cal-4, Stanford-1, Washington-1, UCLA-1)
ACC = 14 (Miami-5, Georgia Tech-4, Florida State-2, Clemson-1, Boston College-1, Maryland-1)
Big East = 10 (Pittsburgh-9, Syracuse-1)

Yes but if they came before WWII they don't count because football before WWII isn't the same as football after WWII.

If all of Penn State's NCs came before they were in the Big 10, do they still count under Big 10 NCs? (Don't think they won one since in Big 10. maybe 1?)

Forgot a few. SMU had 3 and Navy had 1, Rutgers 1

So Big East=15 and ACC=14 ;)

An Alabama fan has been charged with sexual battery after authorities say he was captured on video performing a simulated sex act on an unconscious LSU fan after the BCS Championship Game.
