The Justice Department said in a letter to the NCAA that it is thinking about opening an antitrust inquiry into the BCS since they exclude some NCAA Division I conferences from the formula for choosing schools to play in major bowl games.
Not like Justice doesn't have more important things to do, but the HQ is not surprised... especially after the current shenanigans the Fiesta Bowl got busted for...
To end a sentence in a preposition...
Boy, are they in trouble...
1615 UPDATE: We have quotes...
"Serious questions continue to arise suggesting that the current BCS system may not be conducted consistent with the competition principles expressed in federal antitrust laws," Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney told Mark Emmert, president of the NCAA in her correspondence.
Varney also asked Emmert to explain why college football does not have a playoff when so many other college sports do. She also asked what steps, if any, the NCAA has taken to create a playoff, and whether the NCAA has determined that there are aspects of the BCS system that do not serve interests of fans, colleges, universities, and players.
Good luck with that one...
