OT: ESPN has problems. This may separate the B1G from the SEC

cubuffsdoug
We've known for some time that Disney has tried to sell ESPN to cut its losses. Each year that passes, ESPN is one step closer to financial ruin. For the life of me, why in the hell did CFP sign the deal to give ESPN control rights to broadcast the playoffs through 2031? CFP left a significant amount of money on the table because they may have felt pressure from the SEC and ESPN executives. Why not spread the playoffs across multiple networks to earn a bigger financial windfall without crushing the networks' pocketbooks? Now, ESPN is selling away games (semifinals) to TNT due to financial constraints. It should be a telling sign that the SEC may have reached its peak financially. I recall reading an article on al.com where people were upset that Rutgers would earn more from its B1G media rights than Alabama. That rubbed many Alabama people the wrong way. IMO, the financial gap between the B1G and the SEC is expected to continue growing over the next few years due to ESPN's financial struggles. Here is a link to an article talking about the ESPN situation: ESPN's Financial Struggles Continue; Network Gives Away College Football Playoff Game Broadcast

Bob and Hobbs were outside the box in that they did not up through college sports administration. Julie was probably the most traditional hire in the past 40 plus years.

Both political appointees. Bob ran the NJSEA and had sports and facility managerial experience so not really outside the box. And Hobbs was Dean at Seton Hall and was interim AD for 2 years.

Tate is instrumental in thinking outside the box is the way to go. Interested to see what hires were outside the box? Closest thing to outside the box was Pernetti. Everyone else was solidly inside the box. With most being ultra political hires.

I don't think that this is something new. Maybe it's a little more visible now. It's just not in Bangkok but I saw this in Saigon when I moved there nearly 10 years ago. And it's also not just Americans but guys from the UK and Australia as well. It is VERY common to see a Western man in his 60s and even 70s with a native girlfriend or wife in their 30s or even 20s. The women here are looking for a way out of poor living conditions and are looking for financial security not just for themselves but also their family. I know of a guy who married a Vietnamese girl and he paid her parents nearly $5,000 as a dowry. In addition she was sending about $500 a month of his money to her parents.
As for success rate a lot depends on where the couple meets. If she's a dancer, a bartender or a tea lady the chance for a marriage lasting is pretty slim. Many of these girls will have a baby almost immediately after marriage to tie the guy financially to her.
On the other hand if after marriage the couple returns to his home country the chance for success is much better.

We also need to start using our facilities, not just athletic ones, for A LOT more events. Concerts, business expos, academic outings and contests, trips to the Zimmerman and the farms/Rutgers Gardens,charity events, as many youth and high school tournaments, all-star games, and playoffs in all sports as possible—we need to get young New Jerseyans and their parents on the three campuses as early as possible. They need to grow up becoming familiar with THEIR State University. Waiting until the 11th or 12th grade is often too late.

100%. The school operates with such a small time attitude sometimes. Why is the state track championship held at Pennsauken HS and not RU as an example? It was such a thrill running at RU or Princeton when I was in HS

It's not the 200 affordable homes that is going to kill a town. It's the f'ing 800 market rate units on top that is going to crush communities.....flooding, traffic, overloaded schools, higher taxes.

All so Trenton pols can pay off developers for their massive campaign contributions.

Exactly what I’ve said from the get go. Have no problem with affordable housing. It’s the metrics that developers use to manipulate the system they’ve created with the politicians.
