The last BCS crystal trophy?

Take this as you will, but BCS trophy maker Waterford Wedgwood PLC has filed for bankruptcy, signaling what could be an end to the legendary crystal football.

LONDON – Waterford Wedgwood PLC, the maker of classic china and crystal, filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday after attempts to restructure the struggling business or find a buyer failed. [...] Trading in the company's shares was suspended on the Irish Stock Exchange where they languished at just one-tenth of a euro cent and the company's directors -- including Anthony O'Reilly, the Irish publishing magnate who along with his brother-in-law Peter Goulandris owns more than half of all Waterford Wedgwood shares -- handed in their resignations.

So... no BCS trophy... no BCS? Or do they go with the something more appropriate?
