BCS, while you may pat yourselves on the back for squeezing out more money from the host network, simultaneously kick yourselves in the rear for eroding your own fan base. You sold out millions of die-hard, blue-collar fans with traditions of hosting game-watching parties in their homes. For those who choose not to afford expanded cable, they will have to move their families and friends to some sports bar to see the major bowl games. The glory and aura of college football and its image of \"Everyman\'s sport\" just took a big hit.

Congratulations to ESPN in acquiring the rights fee to begin broadcasting all BCS Games with the exception of the Rose Bowl beginning in 2011. Since ESPN is THE place for College Football and Basketball, this only makes sense to begin broadcasting the Bowl Games. Getting this away from Ruppert Murdoch\'\'s right-wing FOX Network only helps ESPN continue it\'\'s long tradition of broadcasting quality sports programming both from a talent and production standpoint. It\'\'s time to move forward looking to the future and FOX Sports never had any business televising College football\'\'s BCS Games. Although Thom Brenamann is one of the top play-by-play announcers, his \"niche\" is baseball just as Marv Albert\'\'s is the NBA. Mr. Albert has no business broadcasting NFL Monday Night Football on Westwood One. He doesn\'\'t add anything to play-by-play and seems bored on MNF. I would recommend Wayne Larivee as Albert\'\'s successor immediately. Mr. Larivee brings a 20 plus year resume of doing NFL play-by-play, first with Kansas City, then as the longtime announcer for the Chicago Bears, and currrently in his 10th season of broadcasting the Green Bay Packers on WTMJ in Milwaukee as the flagship network for Packer games. When Mr. Larivee has subbed for the \"over the hill\" tired broadcast style of Marv Albert, color analyst Boomer Easison seems much more energized with Wayne\'\'s enthusiasm he brings to his broadcasts. Again, congratulations to ESPN and here\'\'s hoping for many successful years of broadcasting BCS Games.

The thing to remember is moving the games to ESPN will result in ESPN licesning fee rsing even more. And of course, that cost is passed on to the customers. Many of whom are fed up with the rapidly increasing cost of cable, most of which is caused by ESPN and the RSNs.
