Very insightful.....I remember being told that the bowl games were a great money maker for schools. This is saying that some schools actually take a loss?? Espn seems like the puppet master in sports.

Don I am not going to lie, having been a huge sports fan all of my life and having a background as both a professional athlete and a member of the mains tream sports media, I was shocked when I found out some schools take a loss.

ESPN is the puppet master of all sports. Considering they actually report on all sports plus with ESPN, 2, U, Classic, LA, Chicago, New York, the new channel devoted to women's sports and the other who knows how many other ESPN channels they pretty much puppet master the largest part of the sports viewing audience
