Assignment:
In 2011, the U.S. Justice Department sent a letter to the National Collegiate Athletic Association raising antitrust questions about the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) which is used to determine a national college football champion. The letter asked why the BCS schools had not established a playoff system. Then pressure from critics and the promise of huge payouts pushed the BCS to establish a four-team playoff system to commence in 2014. In your judgment, should federal antitrust law be applied to the Bowl Championship Series? Explain.
