Is The BCS Only The First To Go To Pay TV????

I hear people say all that time that boxing isn't what is used to be. That most of the fighters are foreign so who cares. Well, that has alot to do with the fact that kids here in the States don't grow up wanting to be the next Ali anymore. Why? Because they don't see any of these fighters to even idolize them.

Most every fight is on pay per view. And alot of people including myself choose not to pay 50 bucks a pop to watch what'll probably be garbage. As a result, huge fight goes on, nobody knows so nobdoy sees and nobody cares.

With the recent signing of the BCS contracts to ESPN starting in 2010, I'm hoping that the major team sports in this country aren't headed the same way. God forbid if the Super Bowl or the NBA Finals were on pay television. I know its not the same as PPV, but the bottom line is....not everyone will see it. Many of which will be kids who'll find other interest.
