Corporations... plus Fox no longer wants to be the only one providing coverage. Ironically this year since two teams are from LA and playing on different coasts, they could've had both series on Fox without conflicts [unless the east coast based game lasts into extra innings]. |

I never really think of where USF is when I hear the name, but I tend to vaguely think that it's farther south in like Ft. Myers or something. When I consciously consider it then I remember. |

They just had an ad for "Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities" and when I went to the website one of the teams that won (softball) was from Hilo Hawaii. I've been there and it is about as urban as Casper, Wyoming. |

But we also get to see many more MLB games per year and hundreds more college football games because of cable. 25 years ago there would be maybe 3 college football games a week. Now I have a chance to watch at least 20 a week. |

Yeah, but you've complained many times that your converter doesn't work well and that you miss shows like MLB, MNF. $20 is not a lot of money. You must spend 3 times that when you go to the OERM. |
