This is SOOO important that it needs a Justice Dept Investigation!!! It ranks right up their with the so called fraud in the banking industry being too big to fail, Doctors, cutting off feet when they don't need to just for the money, the Insurance companies mkaing too much money the oil companies stealing from the people with their obscene profits and the failure of GM and the stealing of governemnt motors and Chysler and giving them to the UAW....yeap this is big and needs special attention!! Give me a break.....this is what our elected reps are doing for the money they make!?!?

AP NewsBreak: Obama urged to investigate BCS

News Headlines - AP NewsBreak: Obama urged to investigate BCS : Townhall.com

Sen. Orrin Hatch is asking President Barack Obama to launch a Justice Department investigation into college football's Bowl Championship Series over antitrust laws.

Hatch tells the president in a letter Wednesday that a "strong case" can be made that the BCS violates antitrust laws. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter.

Under the BCS system, some conferences get automatic bids to participate in top-tier bowls while others don't, and the automatic bid conferences also get far more of the revenue. Hatch represents Utah, and he says the current system unfairly discriminates against some conferences. The BCS has said it simply recognizes the teams people want to watch. Neither the White House nor the Justice Department has an immediate comment.

I for one am all for this - 1000%!!! If this is what it takes to get a playoff system implimented for a college football national championship, then so be it. I encourage all college football fans everywhere to write, e-mail and call their congressmen and demand that they support Sen. Hatch and his efforts toward this end.
