my close, personal friends over at ESPN will be launching a nuevo network...ESPNU...University ESPN. This network will be dedicated to collegiate sports only.

However, my less close and not very personal friends over at USDOJ will be eyeballing this network as well. It would appear that there is some anti-trust concern regarding the practice of "warehousing" (wherein ESPN buys the broadcast to x-conference, but decides to only air the top game (basketball & football)) which results in forcing schools (hmmm....now why is this familiar?) to schedule games at bizarre hours to get tube time.  

By having a network dedicated to just college sports, it should aleviate this practice.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
