CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Do you know who (Coach) Folsom is?!?!?!
Yes, and if Coach Prime has an amazing career here and they want to rename it Prime Field upon his death I’m cool with that.
Memorial?
So why is it so quiet? Figured we would start hearing more after UCLA news was official.
Folsom Field was named after Fred Folsom in 1944, the year he died. Google is your friend.
Not to mention
Not to mention CP mentioned during his interview with Sharpe that a second season is in the works for his first season at CU.
You misinterpreted my gif. It’s not about my lacking of knowledge of Fred Folsom. It’s in my disbelief that you want to change Folsom Field into something else.
I believe we can all agree Folsom Field at Prime stadium would work, but Prime Field. **** off. This will forever be Folsom.
I have to think there is NIL money for the players, not to mention more exposure than they'd get just about anywhere
Semantics, relax bro.
ESPN thought they could low ball the Pac 12 (they did), but George K has played this well, it seems.
It'll be interesting if ESPN doesn't get any Pac 12 games and how they fill that late night content that they need. Maybe they move some more Big 12 games later?
Either way, getting in with Amazon with only 5 or so years seems ideal in the short term. I'd be happy if this materialized.

ESPN got away from what made them successful, just like CNN. CNN is trying to correct course, but it might be too late for them. I haven’t seen much sign that ESPN even realizes they continue to screw up on a daily basis.
Serious question. How is ESPN screwing up?
Do you remember when MTV used to be relevant back when they actually showed music videos?
ESPN is hell bent on becoming the TMZ of sports.
To their producers: Just because the top 5% of off the field drama gets interested eyeballs, it doesn’t mean most people give a **** about the other 95%.
Caveat that this is my personal subjective bias, but I used to watch ESPN ALL the time. I rarely watched anything else. Now, I watch live sporting events, and SVP's Sportcenter. I can't be the only one. Their talking head shows are unbearable. Sportcenter is largely unbearable too, they spend about 5 minutes an hour talking about actual games. I do like SVP though.

The value of ESPN in a post-internet video world is in live sports. It is no longer feasible to draw in the needed viewership numbers by focusing on highlights and straightforward news reporting like it was even a decade ago. Personalities drive engagement and that is what ESPN taps be it in their hosts or the topics they cover.
I agree with the live sports.
You're definitely not the only one. The thing is, I still think there's a sizeable market for the traditional style SportsCenter with actual highlights, showing a brief box score, current standings, etc. despite everyone having smartphones.
This. I usually ignore the play by play announcer and color analyst during live games anyway, so the sports talk shows don't really have a chance with me.
Yes, I do want to watch highlights on my awesome 70 inch TV and not on my 5.5 inch smartphone.
Highlights of most games from most sports around the world are on Youtube within the day, or day after, it took place. And, you don't have to listen to a host anchor put in his 2 cents. I usually watch a handful of NBA games per week, but will also watch the 9-10 minute highlight videos of the other games the NBA puts up on Youtube the next day.
Sure, highlights of everything are available eventually but the average sports fan isn't going to go out there and search for highlights of every game played that day. SC brought it to you, which is why it was such a great show. An example of a good highlights show still around is College Football Final. They show highlights of most P5 and relevant games that were played and a few coaches interviews from the biggest games, and they never spend an extraordinary amount of time on 1 game.
that's some fairly hardcore NBA fandom there
If Amazon had the Pac12, they would almost assuredly try to have a game in every time slot, unless this is something the University presidents are against for some reason.
ok, I thought part of the rumored deal was no late night games. what am I missing here?
