frick the fricking networks. Them and their money is ruining college athletics.

They’re just spending what they have in a product they want. Blame the University presidents for continuing to sell to the highest bidder and passing the buck to the next decade as the sport becomes more diluted, more NFL-lite, and more stratified. They could have taken a longterm view and said they’d sell the rights but only so long as certain conditions were met to maintain the integrity of the sport. Instead, they’ve engaged in a four decades long perpetual bidding war that’s sitting atop a ticking time bomb of litigation that will eventually end in athletes becoming classified as employees (by which time most of the Presidents who built the bomb will be dead)
