You weren't around in the 80's when there was 2-3 games to watch A SATURDAY!! Hoping we were one of them. Old timers, tell him about the UGA and FSU games. The only time we were on TV.

Old timer here. One of the main reasons that Nebraska, USCal, and Notre Dame were so good every year is because they were always on TV and other teams were almost never on TV, including Clemson. Therefore recruits knew about those schools and wanted to play there. Nebraska's recruiting really dried up since they lost that TV monopoly.

That is exactly right! Even when I got a BIG dish in the yard, there still weren't that many teams to watch.

It still doesn't mean that they have to pour money into The SEC and 1.9 Billion into The NBA, That is stupidity in my HUMBLE opinion.

Someone else would fill the void.
They would just not be idiotic abuot the TV contracts.
Too much money to be made off NCAA Football for it to not be picked up.

And reaching the audience is easier than ever. College football does not need ESPN.

hoping you could get the dial to hit just perfect on the radio to hear it clearly. That was before digital radios. If you wanted to know what our uniforms looked like you had to go to the game or watch the Danny Ford Show and that was it. That was also when ESPN just reported sports and didn't try to control it.

It would be tough for me. I really enjoy watching my Tigers on espn everyday. I can remember when they were never mentioned on local radio. Thank goodness for espn and a few other networks who have helped us rise to prominence.

I'd rather they just do some "restructuring"
Sep 14, 2017, 1:17 PM

get rid of those that want to talk about Presidents instead of sports.
I've never been a fan of Jamelle Hill and not quiet sure how she has gotten to where she has. Her co-host is fine and is actually very intelligent.
I'm still mad about Mike and Mike restructuring. they were literally the only people I could stomach on ESPN.

Ive loved espn for a long time until agendas and PC has taken over sports. We blue collar people deal with different issues everyday, i dont want to deal with it while watching soorts. People want to break away for a while. Having said that, they show lots of football. Sports only ,please. Hey, theres a name for a new network

Good lord you espn bashers are so idiotic. Yeah, it would be awesome if espn went under and we could only watch a few college football games a week, watch less baseball and basketball. Pretty much watch hardly any sports in general. Yeah that would be awesome. Maybe that would be ok for all the Law and Order fans, but not people that love sports. If you hate espn so much, don't freaking watch it. Simple. I can't stand jamalle hill or Michael smith or Stephen a smith. Guess what, I don't watch them. Rocket science I know.

to go to games that were not on TV? Even though I love watching multiple games on TV when I'm not in DV, the TV timeouts have ruined the natural flow of the games and made them VERY long...

Holy crap people are acting like someone else wouldnt pick up all the games sitting out there.
NCAA Football still makes plenty of money for networks.
ESPN just went full ###### with their TV contracts expecting cord cutting to not be a big deal.

Seriously, all those who do not like ESPN, just this Saturday, turn off your TV and listen to the
game while you wash your car. I will give you a break, just listen to 1st half. Let us know if you
enjoyed your game.

When the game is being played, ESPN is the best show on TV. The rest of the time they are as much a waste as the rest of commercial server tv.

I'm torn by this. I don't like that they've been pushing an agenda as a sports network and it's out of place. On the other hand I remember how hard it was for out of area people to watch Clemson 10-15 years ago, and it's been great to watch every game.

I have been completely happy their coverage of our games, I do not watch anything else they show. Maybe this is good advice.
I am also willing to bet that a lot of you watch Game of Thrones, but don;t go on chat boards moaning about all the left wing shows HBO has in their lineup. In fact I have never seen this, just threads about how good game of thrones is.

Well if you want to go that route you go ahead. Before ESPN there was only ONE college football game on each week.

Turner has been wanting to up their Turner Sports service... (I used to work there)...
There was even talk at one time about getting the college baseball playoffs and trying to "upgrade" it more like the NCAA BB Tourney, i.e. broadcast every game, etc. etc.
So ESPN goes "under" and Turner picks up... trade ESPN for Turner and their CNN opinions? Would be the same thing....

I would rather see Fox News, MSNBC, and all the biased, talking-head, spin the news channels go out of business. Oh, and all those religious and shopping channels can go too. And CNN go back to real news 24/7 without the commentary like the old days. Basically everything that I am paying for at ATT that I blocked the first day can go away.
