Someone has to justify getting a paycheck.

Thank goodness the logos are there, otherwise I wouldn't be 100% sure what "Nebraska" and "Minnesota" meant.

It's not about watching a game anymore and everyone involved with producing these "events" is clueless as to what fans watch because they're not sports fans, they're television fans.

I'd by far rather see the graphics than have the camera be on the announcers while action in the game is being played. I really do not need to see their faces.

What’s worse is having those huge graphics PLUS a score ticker running on the bottom of the screen. Takes up the bottom third of the TV.

Fox appears determined to make the worst broadcasts In television history. They are doing a good job so far….

It's part of the descent into idiocracy. As the average IQ goes down from the dumbest people in society breeding the most, people need big colorful boxes to help them understand. I full expect the graphics to consume half the screen by the time the ACC GOR expires.

It’s getting viewers used to having the lower portion of the screen eventually become banner ads.

Are their NFL broadcasts as stupid? If those are better, why not use the same style.
