Fans without a Cable or Satellite TV account are shut out from watching.
Are there any Freeper rabble-rousers or tort lawyers interested in starting a Class Action suit against this monopoly?
On what grounds would this lawsuit have merit?
Well, there’s always radio.
Bowl Games, the NIT of College Football.
I'm a big CFB fan and am glad to part with my money to watch the bowl games on ESPN. They do have good analysts, notably Republican Lou Holtz and Rece Davis doesn't seem too bad, he may also also be a Republican. Mark May? 'RAT!
ESPN by far spends more than any network. In turn they charge more than any cable channel.
They may have a monopoly but busting it up may be pointless as I don’t want Al Sharpton doing play by play of my game.
I know. This is infuriating. The only reason I keep cable is for live sports. However, our cable company raised our rates again, so as soon as football is over, we may have to cancel. We get a gazillion channels and only watch a handful.
It’s way past time to end cable monopolies in cities and towns and to give people the choice of paying for only the channels they want. MSNBC would disappear.
Yeah good luck with your idiotic lawsuit. Go be poor somewhere else.
Other networks can bid on having the bowls/bowl packages shown on their networks. They were not blocked from presenting their proposals and outbidding ESPN.
If ESPN is paying more money for the games .....
ABC has had the Rose Bowl forever. Waiting for ND State vs IL State game.
college football should be a utility. its a long established service paid for by generations of tax payers. a few college administrators looking for a quick buck should not be able to contract with ESPN as a sole source
