Behind the push for the hearings is the subcommittee's
top Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch
of Utah. People there were furious that Utah was bypassed for the
national championship despite going undefeated in the regular season.
The title game pitted No. 1 Florida (12-1) against No.
2 Oklahoma (12-1); Florida won 24-14 and claimed the title.
The subcommittee's statement said Hatch would introduce
legislation "to
rectify this situation." No details were offered and Hatch's office
declined to provide any.
God Help Us.
