An earlier e-mail alert incorrectly reported the contents of a letter from the Justice Department to the NCAA about the Bowl Championship Series.


The Justice Department has not announced an antitrust inquiry into the BCS. The letter asked for information about the BCS system to help determine if an inquiry should be launched.

Also, the alert should have said the BCS system makes it more difficult for some athletic conferences to qualify for major bowl games, but it does not exclude them.
