The Deseret News reports that Utah’s Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff will meet with members of his antitrust division next week to determine a strategy for investigating whether the BCS violates federal antitrust laws. Moreover, Ben Winslow reports that AG Shurtleff has been offered assistance from antitrust attorneys across the country.

The Eagle4Justice has offered the following comment in response to the Deseret News article:

AG Mark Shurtleff should conduct the probe and pursue any antitrust or other violations uncovered. He should accept any assistance offered by other State AGs (and expert attorneys) to assure that only appropriate litigation or other action is taken on behalf of the State of Utah.

The Utah UTES (13-0) have performed and conducted themselves as National Champions. Coach Whittingham has demonstrated that “action speaks far louder than mere words,” and that when words are used, they should be used in a positive and professional manner.

Let us proceed by action and words that will repair the unfairness of the BCS system but without all the negative hyperbole.

Stay tuned for surely there will be further developments …
