Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 1030167, member: 87"] Somebody needs to do an anlysis of the value of the media exposure afforded to players at high major programs. Seeing a D League game is more difficult than hackinginto NORAD. Players at programs like Syracuse are lavished with national media attention for months and they have a chance to be stars in one of the top 3 or 4 most valuable sports TV properties in the country. The value of the exposure is off the charts - put it this way, CBS paid $11 billion dollars (Dr. Evil pinky) for 14 years of showing commercials during this thing. A player like Tyler Ennis is afforded the chance to be the star attraction of the actual games for 4 years. And that is just the NCAA tourney. ESPN and several other newer sports networks just about devote 100% of their non-NFL airtime to these guys for several months. [/QUOTE]
