Texas Collegiate Baseball League Wins $2.9 Million Judgment in Antitrust Trial

A Texas state court judge has issued a judgment of $2.9 million against a team owner in the Texas Collegiate Baseball League (TCBL) for taking part in an unlawful league boycott that violated antitrust laws and caused the league to fold.   After a weeklong trial, jurors found that Fred Britton of Colleyville participated in the 2007 boycott with several other team owners. The TCBL reached out-of-court settlements with the other owners prior to the trial. The TCBL ceased operations in 2007.
