Every sport will be out of season in a few days and it's still too early to really ramp up football pre-season coverage. The best way to try and drum up ratings is to give every school their "day" to dominate the network, in hopes that you at least get one fanbase to tune in. I actually suggested this idea a long time ago on here.

Is it too late to change him out for Taylor Jacobs AKA "The Candi-man"?

The above is from the Vanderbilt Athletics site's news release. It appears that Florida may have changed their representative. Hmmm

The network needs filler and the schools get exposure.
