A Congressman from Hawaii is taking on the Bowl Championship Series, or BCS, the organization which ranks college football teams and ultimately decides who plays in the big-money bowl games, including the national championship. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) is playing the role of aloof gumshoe, putting forth a bill that would challenge the BCS for violating anti-trust laws and gigging their system to exclude smaller schools from a shot at the national title game, which comes with multimillion dollar payouts for the schools that get into the elite bowl games.

Does he have a case? Of course. Everybody hates the BCS. It’s corrupt, unfair, asinine and a mockery of all that is amateur sports. However, the legality of the issue has been questioned before, and the BCS is pretty confident that it will win. That won’t stop this justice champion, though.

Said Abercrombie, “I know about Plastic Man and Hawk and rest of them. If you’re in the Justice League, wherever someone is in distress, you go.”

Unfortunately for Abercrombie and the sports world, Super Representative Man will need more than his own Power Legislation Beam. He’ll need a whole team of legal experts who serve the people and fight for justice. I wish some such Justice League of America organization existed. All we have is the Justice Department.

Wait, maybe we do have one. I can’t recall…
