Sorry, a bit misleading... they are laying the preliminary groundwork for an antitrust suit
lol. Mad at your neighbor? File an antitrust suit. Don’t like the stuff your local magazine prints? File an anti trust suit. Upset about the soup of the day? File an anti trust suit.

These people are making a mockery of the Sherman Act- but mostly just trying to get votes.

This quote by her was dumb: “I’m a lifelong Gator, but I’m also the Florida attorney general, and I know injustice when I see it,” Moody said to POLITICO. “No rational person or college football fan can look at this situation and not question the result."

They picked the four best teams. Florida is not one of them but one (Georgia) did get left out.

The Sherman Act is already a mockery. It's an ex post facto law, since you don't know if you violated it until after the fact.

Standard Oil charged less than its competitors. Anti trust violation.

AT&T charged more than it's competitors. Anti trust violation.

GE charged the same as it's competitors. Anti trust violation.

Microsoft gave away it's product for free. Anti trust violation.

The NCAA seems to have lost every lawsuit it's ever been involved in, and most of them claim Anti trust.

I'm all for protection against anti-competitive acts by big business, but maybe we should revisit the Sherman Act.

Translation: There are a lot of voters in Florida who are Florida St. fans. So you better believe I’m going to pander to them.

Sherman was a war criminal also, a WWII tank. **********

He needs to name the three conferences in the "Alliance". I am still baffled about why they band together to stop the 12 team play off from starting this season. FSU and GA both would have made it.

17ing clowns.


Anyways, here is what FSU should legitimately do-
- win their bowl game against UGA and go undefeated.
- claim they are national champions, just like UCF did in 2017 when they went undefeated.
- get the national champion claim added to NCAA records, just like UCF did in 2017.

Boom- now Florida State is a national champion.

Ironically, this may be an easier path to a national championship than the playoff would. Especially if a 1-loss team wins the playoff.

Dear Florida AG,
17 ALL of your Florida football teams.
Sincerely,
A rational MSU college football fan
