Life is short so enjoy the tide, don't be surprised at bumps or hills on the road though. Translation: When you post a article on a message board filled with numerous people with varying opinions don't get upset when you don't get universal approval of your opinion.
You think ESPN is great, cool. I think their gamecasts are awesome but have cut that cord because of the massive egos of their reporters. I watch sports to escape the real world, much as I do movies or concerts( though it's becoming more difficult).
Fox is a great deal for the BIG and is the envy of all other deals with other conferences. The BIG network was revolutionary and was heavily ridiculed at the time. Delaney has led the charge with conference expansion and has made each BIG institution many dollars. I'm sure enrollments are up because during each heavily viewed football game there are ads explaining why you should attend said university.
Oh and if you expect cordial behavior on an internet message board accessible to anyone I don't know what to say. With that said I don't condone personal attacks from anonymous cowards but I don't really care either. Good day madam or sir.
