RB on ESPN

The real question is whether there will be a viable internet/TV combo created before the total end of over-the-air sports. I'm thinking there won't, as they haven't even created a successful model yet. If the RB was what it was 10 years ago, this would be a sad day. The only real sad thing about it is that ESPN just gets more powerful. TV has told college sports when and where to play. Will there be a time when ESPN chooses who the Universities hire as coaches, etc. Or who they are allowed to recruit? That may sound far fetched, but if NBC told ND to fire Weiss or they won't renew the contract, ND would listen. Is ESPN getting that kind of power? We'll see.
