The following is from ESPN:
LINK: Congress wants to determine if BCS is illegal enterprise
Here's an excerpt:
"Reps. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) are introducing a resolution rejecting the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice's antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law. The measure would also put Congress on record as supporting a college football playoff."
Here's another excerpt. Their beef with the BCS is probably a case of sour grapes:
"But it's no coincidence that all three lawmakers have home-state schools with recent beefs against the bowl system.Hawaii and Boise State University in Idaho each had an undefeated season in recent years but were denied a shot at the championship. And Westmoreland said he is still smarting about his
Georgia Bulldogs being passed over for the national championship game last year."
