    ESPN Racket: In business with Texas

    Let it begin:

    First, ESPN fucking buys up all the fucking bowl games...

    This comes after their specialized sites for certain cities...

    Now, ESPN is going into fucking business with Texas, starting a 24-hour Texas Longhorn channel.

    How many levels of bullshit is this...

    So let's make ESPN an even bigger player in the land of the BCS. Can't wait to see what other schools they start to poach down the road...

    Maybe they'll start their own college football league...

    Texas, ESPN unveil 24-hour Longhorns network

    ESPN and the University of Texas will combine on a 24-hour television network showing Longhorn sports as well as original series, studio shows, historical programming and other academic and cultural events.

      An outstanding example of the complete and utter hypocrisy of college athletics. This deal is worth 300 million dollars to the university. Allow me to state that again: 300 million dollars. Yet if any single player is caught selling the shirt off his back that he wore in a game, he is subject to fines, suspension or even getting kicked out of school.

      Unless of course, he has a bowl game coming up in a couple of weeks.

          Hmmm...I wonder how this effects the ESPN/USA Today polls?
