Truly sad indeed, the stench of corporate malfeasance is everywhere! Gone are the days where legacies and traditions carried more appeal than $$$$!
Some time back the subject was presented here.
Once Disney becomes involved in "any project" they are "always" the force. Large corporations have been involved with college football as we all know for ages. The corporations also bow to M&M, advertise with ESPN and are allowed to follow the "meeces" rules.
Once upon a time the bowl games were a huge part of every football fans end of year enjoyment. Much has changed and . . . . much needs to be changed BACK.
Going to post this, another upsetting football "thingy" that needs to be changed. IMHO.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal introduced a bill this week to end the “blank check” anti-trust exemption for America’s major sports leagues and instead make them seek a renewal every five years.
Disney actually bought the SEC for pennies. Again, my opinion.
