This morning there was more news about the undefeated Utah UTES (13-0) being ranked No. 2 behind the Florida GATORS (13-1) in the final AP Poll for the season. The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) remains under attack, and according to virtually all, the BCS is patently unfair in its selection of the National Champion for college football. Most would like to see a playoff system replace the current BCS Championship Game for determination of the National Champion.
The Deseret News reports that Utah's Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff will meet with members of his antitrust division next week to determine a strategy for investigating whether the BCS violates federal antitrust laws. Moreover, Ben Winslow reports that AG Shurtleff has been offered assistance from antitrust attorneys across the country.
The Eagle4Justice has offered the following comment in response to the Deseret News article:
AG Mark Shurtleff should conduct the probe and pursue any antitrust or other violations uncovered. He should accept any assistance offered by other State AGs (and expert attorneys) to assure that only appropriate litigation or other action is taken on behalf of the State of Utah.
The Utah UTES (13-0) have performed and conducted themselves as National Champions. Coach Whittingham has demonstrated that "action speaks far louder than mere words," and that when words are used, they should be used in a positive and professional manner.
Let us proceed by action and words that will repair the unfairness of the BCS system but without all the negative hyperbole.
Stay tuned for surely there will be further developments ...
