ESPN & Big 10 Sports Deal

[TwoMinuteDrill]

Deals like this make the gap between the rich and the poor larger. Is there an ending point? How will this impact Mid Majors in Basketball and FCS in football? Sometime I feel like the smaller schools are just sitting back allowing this to happen and hoping the P5 will throw them a bone. RP was a advocate against P5 dominance, I think he was right.

Ending point? Seriously?? Uhhh -- no. There is ZERO Ending Point UNTIL customers STOP paying ESPN fees; START boycotting 'power 5' laden ncaa events.

So, no -- no ending point

And Kudos to Ron Prettyman for standing up for non-p5 interests

HOPEFULLY he continues that stance at the ncaa

He was right. I hope he continues being an advocate at the ncaa.
