The Justice Department’s antitrust division will meet with officials from the Bowl Championship Series this summer, following up on concerns the department raised with the N.C.A.A. about college football’s postseason format. Bill Hancock, the executive director of the B.C.S., said Thursday that a Justice Department lawyer last week asked for a voluntary background briefing on how the B.C.S. operated. Hancock said he agreed to provide one, but that no date had been set yet.

“We view it as an opportunity to make it clear that the B.C.S. was crafted very carefully with antitrust laws in mind,” Hancock said.
