AND 'MUCH AS SPORTS SEEM TO BE DOING' IS VIRTUALLY FALSE.  I'll credit you

premium channel.'


College football Bowl games shave been migrating to ESPN for several years, as have MANY of the regular season games. And then there is the reality that the Bowl Championship series is moving to ESPN in 2011.
