After announcing that he would file an antitrust lawsuit against the BCS, Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff is now seeking law firms to join his case against the football entity. The Deseret News reported that Shurtleff’s office filed a request of information on a government website designed for law firms. Readers are directed to this link to see the filing.
Mark Shurtleff Summoning Legal Team For BCS Antitrust Battle
From there it is possible to read the 11-page filing, which includes a list of questions to be answered. Outside of fee arrangements, the questions ask if the answering law firm has had experience litigating the BCS or similar institutions.
Respondents have until Aug. 8 to submit their paperwork, so we shouldn’t expect anything a legal team to appear overnight and challenge the BCS immediately. However, the BCS will also need to look out for the United States Department of Justice, which will hold a meeting with BCS officials on June 30.
Just don’t get any hopes up of a change to the current bowl setup. It will likely take years for anything to come of this.
