I hate to be "that guy" but I don't get this. It's frowned upon because it's "illegal" (even though for ABC/ESPN games you see the same commercials as the OTA broadcasts. PPV I understand), yet it's OK to rip and copy/paste an entire article from a news/blog site (which makes money the same way, ad revenue) and not even link back to the source. That's a question for the Admins. No problem. I know it's not your fault/policy, I just find it extremely odd/hypocritical.

"As opposed to other analysts who announce games either standing up or sitting on a stool, Ed has recently chosen do his announcing work sitting exclusively on his high horse. Some maintain this is the only place that he is able to withstand the floodwaters of Roger Goodell's incompetence trickling their way down into the college game, others simply note his mediocre broadcasting skills, and applaud him for taking the easy route in falling in line with the hot-button topic of the day. Cunningham most recent holier-than-thou work includes public scoldings of both Eric Martin and Courtney Osborne, Nebraska defensive players who were not fined for their perfectly legal plays, and whose only offense was being bigger, faster, stronger, and better than their competition. During the week, when not announcing games from high upon his stallion, Cunningham can be found handing out blue participation ribbons at your local public school, as well as calling out all other football announcers with skills superior to his as "big meanies." LOLOLOLOLOL

I didn't know the old saying was "If you can't beat em', go cry to daddy..."

Cry More.... Apparently, it's ok to do this... I think you should look in the mirror.

Who cares what T-Mobile does? He plays for Virginia Tech.

I think I saw him chasing Roy....

He did. He said we would score 35, and MU would score 24!!!

Update: Looks like it will be in HD regardless of whether you receive it on ESPN or ABC. More than likely, MU @ NU will get the most national ABC coverage, with a portion of B10 country getting MSU @ IA on ABC. Coverage maps tomorrow (probably around 2 or so EST).

Correct. It's national, so it's either on ABC in HD (I'm in Tampa, and I can almost guarantee we'll get it on ABC down here) or ESPN in SD.

Generally, the team has had its best games after a good week of practice, and Bo was in a good mood.

FYI, Bo was in a very good mood after practice today.

I want to see Garret Gilbert and Mack Brown pull a Tebow and cry while walking off the field.

If you don't get it on ABC, you will on ESPN.

No Thanks. I may be wrong, but I believe we're "0-fer" whenever we wear all whites, or all reds. We don't need anymore bad JuJu.

The chances of Will playing much, if at all, are slim.

FiOS FTW.

2.Nebraska 5-0 Last Week: W, at Kansas State 48-13 Next Up: Texas Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Huskers have been dominant so far, winning every game by at least two touchdowns, including road routs of Washington and Kansas State. The running game is conjuring up memories of the 1980s, cranking out well over 400 yards in Manhattan Thursday night. Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Unlike most of the schools around it, Nebraska has yet to play a ranked opponent. As brilliant as Taylor Martinez has been running with the ball, he’s an average passer, who could be a liability if the Huskers are ever trailing big.

His kung-fu couldn't overpower the T-Magic.

"Opponents have picked off 10 Nebraska passes." Uh, no they haven't.

And all this time I thought Carl was one of the best DCs around. Go figure. do you ever read rivals? the rule for defensive coordinator rankings is that they must be the MAIN defensive mind of the team. obviously carl doesn't qualify because bo is the one who runs the defense. we all know he's obviously a top 20 d-coordinator but he doesn't qualify for the rivals rankings. ANd that's why Rivals sucks. If they think that Brent Venables at OU, or Kirby Smart at Alabamba are the "Main defensive minds," they're retarded.

I never said I was a legal expert, only that I dealt in these type of situations quite a bit. Does that make me an "expert" on the subject, no. Call me crazy, but I generally trust someone who has real world working knowledge in a related subject over someone who just google searched something. I'm arguing against your assertions early that the case has no merit based on your knowledge. So do you agree that the case has merit, or is it baseless as you previously stated? As for: I'll use your own argument that this is just like corporate America. Of course the fans are ultimately paying for it - the fans are already paying for it now. The difference will be who the fans are paying. 1st, as I stated in a previous post, I don't think the case has a chance. Whether or not it may or may not relate to the Vanna White case doesn't matter. Why? Because of the "Roster Guard" issue. If Kellers case had any real leg to stand on, why didn't the (arguably) greatest sports superstar of the last 3 decades pursue EA for the exact same thing? I could be totally wrong, but I find it extremely odd that nothing happened in that issue. As for your second post, the fans will still be paying for all of it. The answer is not "to whom" though. It's "how much." Because I highly, highly doubt that the video game companies, and TV networks are going to take a large paycut, and not pass any of the added cost on to us. To believe so is burying your head in the sand.

Uh, you do realize the schools receive money from EA, right? The difference is that because the revenue generated from the games pales in comparison to TV contracts, the amount disseminated to the universities is negligible. yes, and that is why i said the nexus is much weaker. ea sports is the most egregious because they benefit the most from it and the student athletes benefit the least. Um, what? The "benefits" you are describing are something circumstantial that can't be quantified. However, tangible benefits like money do matter. Unless you think millions are more than billions. i do not think we are on the same page anymore, it is may fault, i was struggling to convey my thoughts. i just see ea sports as a third party. it is like when you are at the concert and people are selling unlicensed t-shirts. the band does not care about the licensed t-shirts because they consented. the players consent to being on tv and such much more than to being on a video game, and i know that the game is licensed, but how much say do the students have in that. it can be assumed they would be much more willing to forfeit their rights to television contracts, and important part of college football, than for a video game where a game developer makes a ton of money by using their image and they get little to no compensation. how much do you think ea pays each school? or does the money just go to the ncaa who sold off the rights? They have the same amount of say in both. When they choose to take a scholarship to play football, they've made their decision.

Lol.... you just described corporate America. No, I just described the Feudal system. And when those Feudal lords oppressed their people enough, the people revolted and burned down their castles. Um, that's also corporate America. Your description perfectly aligns with large companies like Walmart, Nike, and Chevrolet. Individual workers do most of the actual work, and yet, compared to corporate officers, and the company's overall profits, their compensation pales in comparison. The funniest thing about all of your arguments is that you're not saying what EA sports is doing is right, you're just citing more and more examples of others doing wrong. You may not like the "two wrongs don't make a right" answer, but it's the correct answer. That's the problem. I don't agree with the NCAA profit sharing, but most people don't realize how big this is. This will completely change the way that we as fans view college football. We will bear the increased costs, not the companies involved. And in the end, players may see $5 if they're lucky.
