FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The BCS coordinator said Thursday major college football’s leaders feel the postseason system is in compliance with federal antitrust laws.
Speaking to reporters, Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford did not specifically address the Utah attorney general’s threat of an antitrust lawsuit against the Bowl Championship Series.
But he says the BCS has carefully considered the legality of its format.
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff earlier this week said he’s investigating the BCS for a possible antitrust violation. Utah football team finished its season last week with a 13-0 record, but under the BCS format, has no chance to win the national title.
