Reps. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, are introducing a resolution rejecting the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice's antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law.
Lemme see. Hawaii? Undefeated until getting its ass kicked in the Sugar Bowl by Georgia? Georgia? A two-loss team that couldn’t get in the BCS title game. Idaho, the location of Boise State? Won its at-large Fiesta Bowl invite over Oklahoma the year before – the Oklahoma that’s had a lot of trouble winning bowl games since its last national title.
