Age old lesson in sports television, don’t wonder aloud about what ya don’t know! So many media critics are afraid to critique @espn because they can’t lose their relationships with the PR people. That’s what happens when ya go from the little cable that could in the 80’s, to the perceived WorldWide Leader. The foundation of @CollegeGameDay was to cover the totality of the sport. They’ve got 3 hours because it’s such a money maker, but quantity doesn’t always mean quality.
Dear @NCAA
We all hate you. You've done a terrible job doing anything the last 5 years. You have a chance to win some of us back, at least a little bit.
Fix the Western Michigan game.
Signed,
Everyone who believes in the integrity of the game.
ESPN owns all broadcasting rights to the CFP.
All CFP money is paid by ESPN
ESPN owns all SEC broadcasting rights.
ESPN owns all ACC broadcasting rights.
ESPN isn’t the primary owner of B1G or Big 12 rights anymore.
ESPN doesn’t own primary Notre Dame broadcast rights.
Is anyone surprised ESPN managed to invest $20 million in its main product and found away to shun a more deserving Big 12 program and/or Notre Dame to invest $4 million in its ACC product instead?
Only $16 million to B1G and Big 12 where ESPN has minimal broadcasting rights compared to $32 million paid to ESPN owned conference rights.
Follow the money and it all makes sense.
BYU was annihilated today.
But I still think they deserve a CFP spot over ND, Miami, and Alabama.
BYU lost to the top 3/4 team in the nation.
Bama lost to FSU, Miami lost to two unranked teams, and ND has played no one.
I stand on that
Just remember the crooked committee and crooked ESPN and crooked SEC moved Bama up just so when they got slaughtered and exposed they could keep them in
