BCS Faces AntiTrust Allegations; Tournament Play Considered

Bill Hancock, the executive director of the BCS, will be giving a voluntary briefing at the Dept. of Justice this summer to discuss the NCAA football’s postseason system.

The meeting is to discuss using the bowl series and it’s benefits as a way of determining the best team in the country.

The Justice department, which is expected to hear these matters towards the end of June, aren’t sure that the current structure is legal, and it may violate antitrust laws that were put in place when it began.

Antitrust laws in general are to protect the consumer against lack of competition and access.

Hancock believes that the system is much better than it use to be, but didn’t state if it was better than a playoff series.

This is what the fans have been screaming for years. It has long been known that fans have not been happy with the BCS, and have wanted a playoff series much like the NCAA tourney for basketball.

That the only way, and so happens to be quite exciting, to determine the number #1 team in the country without money or politics being in the way, is to use a playoff series.

The NFL does it, the NBA does it, the NCAA I AA football teams do it, it happens in March Madness, little league teams do it, and it’s time that the #1 sport in college does it.
