I love it. They are walking back from the BCS. I think its a great position legally and it lends credence to the argument that a super-majority (read monopoly) has taken control of the NCAA.

I beg to differ from Stallion. The BSC is a cartel that functions as a monopoly.

as long as it is a "contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade" I'll be happy. That's the first element in proving a violation of the Sherman Anti-trust Act. The word cartel is not used as much as monopoly in legal analysis. Cartel is more of a business term I would say. In Anti-trust law they often use the unweildly term of "joint refusal to deal" to describe a cartel.

In criminal law it is more often observed that the victim was killed by the cartel for "refusal to deal joints."

Your Honor, It wasn't me it was the other guy!

Pathetic and disingenuous !

Yet the NCAA still effects the whole system with its ability to sanction limiting full and fair access.

I hope the whole structure collapses from its internal rot.
