I wonder how many of you guys realize that there are no "TV gods?"
Basically, the guys who handle a lot of this B.S. on a day to day basis are former fratboys with MBAs and advanced business degrees, in their late 20s and 30s who most of you would consider grown-up punks with large bank accounts and McMansions - - in other words, "!D#@#u#c%b_@-*g~$."
Those are the kinds of people you're dealing with.
You call them "Gods" and say they must be "courted?"
.
"Jerks" is more like it. B@$t@rd$ with no heart who only know one game - - HARDBALL.
.
Few University Presidents know how to play hardball, and the only G5 commissioner that I'm aware of that has any kind of a backbone is the MWC commissioner - - the one who kicked the AAC's @$$ when they tried to poach CSU and AFA.
.
There's just one. thing that CUSA fans need to know - - if you think that there are "TV Gods" who must be "courted," you're just as far out of contact with the actual situation as the cowardly lion was in the presence of "THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ!"
As "Oz" put it to Dorothy, in the end, he was just a "humbug," a pretender, a nobody pretending to be somebody.
Much like the "great and powerful Oz," the so-called "TV Gods," are just a bunch of "suits." Expensive suits, yes, but the guys wearing them are just punks with MBAs. A lot of them are people you wouldn't even want to have dinner with. You'd be disgusted if you knew them.
The game is H A R D B A L L. If you're playing anything else, you lose.
