I feel for so many of the people that are paying the price for the hubris of the people running that network, but bad decisions usually have bad consequences.

It’s what happened when you decide to push politics rather than simply covering sports. You alienate at least half of your base if not more. I don’t watch ESPN anymore unless a game is on

ESPN overspent during good times because they projected the good times would last forever. It's happened thousands of times before at media companies and every other business and will keep happening.

Travis wants to make it out to be politics but he's employed by a competitor and quite obviously has his own ideology that he likes to push and that many agree with but really it's just the same ole song and dance that plays out at major corporations all the time. Markets aren't built on balance but highs followed by lows.

The suck part is that a lousy product is about to get lousier because the board didn't think.

Overspending is the biggest part of it, but alienating a good chunk of its most loyal audience didn't help.

The report on Stoops, Kelly and Strong smokescreen per Trey Wallace.

He said Frost is UF #1 and he is hearing talks elevated to discussing money.

People aren't going to stop watching their favorite teams because they're pissed at something the network carrying the game does. And if they're that hardcore then they probably should give up TV altogether since every damn network regardless of perceived affiliation is nothing more than an amoral, ruthless, pos, corporation that pushes an image that it thinks will hook in an audience (doesn't matter which one, left, right, whatever) while only caring about $$$.

They won’t stop watching their favorite teams. But they’ll stop watching sports center, first take, whatever garbage Jemele is on, and many other of the junk that’s on that channel that they may have watched before.

I think so, but he's the best in the biz because he doesn't let things like that get in the way of making his clients a boatload.

That's right. And the correct way to do business. I'm just saying it seems contradict that he's actively trying to stick it to UT as the Beav is insinuating.
