The Rich Getting Richer?

Posted on by

I had originally intended on writing a long post ripping the fat cats at Disney/ESPN for putting tonight’s IU vs. Purdue game on the no-man’s-land that is ESPNU (read this article if you don’t know what I’m talking about). Great job sticking it to the little man, guys. That’s a great way to inspire people to pay even more for their cable bill and build customer loyalty. I expect more of the same when the Big(11)Ten starts its own network in the near future.

But then I thought about it. Maybe the greedy Disney/ESPN fat cats were just trying to spare all of us from watching such a lopsided game. Wouldn’t want all of the Boilermaker fans to get depressed now, would we?

It still would have been nice to have been able to watch it. Or listen to it. I haven’t been able to pick up the Ft. Wayne station on my radio in almost a year. And tonight was a clear night. It would be really cool to have heard Todd Leary get all worked up for this game.

It’s time to fly that IU flag with pride.
