        It's undoubtedly a better situation for people with
mini-dishes, but as I've observed elsewhere, it kind of screws up the
sports bar option for those of us without them.  (And I won't bring up
the fact that half the games were on espn2 a few years ago--oops, I
just did.)
 
        I'm not sure exactly what feedback to give the NCAA on the PPV
experiment.  If the PPV were available on a cable systems across the
country (not to mention Primestar--boy would I be pissed if I
subscribed to them) it would be a good deal, except for people who
rely on C-Band satellites.  OTOH, I hope this doesn't put us on a
slippery slope which ends in having to spend $75 to see the Frozen
Four.
