Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 42347, member: 397"] ESPN is really getting to be a pretty seedy corporation, seemingly controlling everything in sports... they no longer can be considered anything close to an independant news source covering sports with a neutral and unbiased perspective. If they want to recover any of their long lost journalistic integrity, they are going to need to break off the news organization and run it as a separate corporation. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when a [U]sports broadcasting corporation[/U] holds most of the major sports leagues, pro and college, by the short curlies, and essentially calls the shots for most of the sports related business in the USA. In college football, greed and excess by some of the schools has lead to an un-ending drive to "keep up with the Joneses", which requires more money. The availability of more money is driven by these insane TV contracts and networks, with ESPN behind most of it. [/QUOTE]
