Justice Department Sends Antitrust Inquiry to NCAA

The Justice Department has launched an inquiry into anti-trust allgations against the Bowl Championship Series, a department spokesman has just announced.

Following a meeting with Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, Attorney General Eric Holdern disclosed that his department has written a letter to Mark Emmert, president of the NCAA asking, among other things, if there are aspects of the BCS system that are unfair and do not serve the interests of fans, universities and players. 

The NCAA does not have to respond to the questions, but their answers will form the basis as to whether a full investigation should occur.
