These are non-profits. Why do they need to be funded at such a high level compared to 15 years ago?

Until revenue disparities widen in an uncapped spending environment that results in things like culling of sports, and schools

Then I hate to see what happens to our media deal if the viewership shrivels up in the next 5-6 years.

Had the Sagarin football ratings pulled up on an old iPhone tab.

Noticed Kansas State is rated above Iowa State.

Seems off, but what do I know?

I think Ohio St will win. Every analyst thinks Ohio St will win. This makes me nervous enough to hedge my bets (literally)

I think ND wins but it's very interesting the line moved 3 points towards PSU

I don't root for Notre Dame very often, but I am tonight.

They should I just think Day has one more monumental choke job left in him for this season and I'm still not a fan of Howard if the game is close, he folds.

Go Irish.

I'm just glad we don't have to listen to Joe Tessitore tonight

I cant root for either of these teams.

 

[Gonzo]

I think everyone in the world knew he'd be looking for Evans on that play.
