This morning the New York Times ran an essay by Ben Mathis-Lilly, "Does Watching College Football on TV Have to be so Miserable?", which brilliantly summarizes the impact the college money grab has had on fans, TV and probably more so the paying ones in attendance. It blends well with your ongoing coverage of the PAC12 drama and domino effect. In fact, John, I had to keep checking to be sure you hadn't written it (or do you have a pen name?). In my case, I accept the degradation of the product because I can still watch for free (four hours at a time, as Ben points out). The loyal paying fan, which I once was and still miss the tailgating, has really taken it on the chin as regards the experience of being there. I remember someone once saying that corporate America seems to always take a good thing and drive it into the ground like a garden stake. Ben makes the case.
John I'm not sure how much you follow local high school football. Central Catholic is playing St. John Bosco Friday Sept. 9th at Autzen Stadium. My grandson plays for Central Catholic and is excited for the opportunity to play them, especially at Autzen!
If the Pac 12 needed a reason to keep my Aztecs out, the SDSU administration may have handed it to them. Sitting on this information for a year? And then having it coming the week before Snapdragon opens is awful.
But to those with glass houses, has something similar happened at YOUR schools, Mr. Presidents?
Wow - per Adam Shefter - Bills have informed rookie punter Matt Araiza that he is being released, effective immediately. Araiza has been accused along with two others of gang raping a 17-year-old girl last year in a civil lawsuit filed on Thursday.

You might consider the "Intern over 50/60 for a day" as an item in your fundraiser.

Witnesses would win. Brilliant answer.

Do you know why this is a civil action and wasn't prosecuted by the local district attorney. Smells to high heaven.
The case is still open and the SD city police are still investigating. Which begs the question, what is taking them so long?

If you let me intern for you and you give me a camera and say to me don’t say a word if you see someone famous. I will be quiet as a church mouse.
Bills cut Araiza
I’m available for the Masters.
