University Sports: Winner Take All

Ethan Rothstein in SB Nation has a nicely written update of the University of Texas / ESPN tv network – a network showcasing UT’s football team for fun, profit, and recruitment. Rothstein seems to think there’s something wrong with the arrangement. This “walking conflict of interest,” he writes, “marches on, trying to only grow bigger and conflict-of-interest-ier.” He worries about what will happen “if Texas has its own Nevin Shapiro hiding in the wings.”

I must say. Nevin may have to rot in jail for awhile, but his j’accuse has given him an extremely impressive cultural currency. A one-act play has already been written.
