Fox gets the BCS next year and some other college football games next year. ABC will keep some of the bigger ones like the Rose Bowl, but it's not enough.
I don't trust Fox to handle college football. They've always been about glitz and glamour over substance with their NFL broadcasts and I expect college football to be no different.
Hopefully, some of the ABC guys will sign with Fox to do the games, because I absolutely abhor Fox's NFL announcing teams.
I mean think about it for a second. NFL announcers on Fox are some of the worst in the business. Joe Buck is as boring and stale as they come. Dick Stockton isn't much more exciting. Marble-mouthed Curt Menafee is the worst of the bunch. And every color analyst is just a lame Madden knock-off.
Say what you want about Brent Musberger, but his voice is excellent and his passion for college football is unquestioned. Keith Jackson may be slipping into Summerall territory, but he's still good overall due to the nostalgia factor.
Brad Nessler is very good, and Mike Tirico and Kirk Herbstreit are excellent together.
I like the whole ABC-ESPN college football partnership they've got going, but now it looks like Greedy Ole' Fox is going to screw it up.
Tell you what Fox- Bring back Beano the Hutt for his weekly segment and we'll call it a deal!
That guy is comedic gold at first sight.
"Blah blah blah Notre Dame blah blah blah Joe Pa blah blah"
*Beano runs out of breath*
