College Football Season is Just Around the Corner

Every Saturday this fall you can literally watch dozens of games on ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN, Fox Sports, The Big Ten Network and many more providers. If you went back to the 1970s this was not always the case. ABC had a contract with the NCAA and you got to watch one regional game; a second if you were lucky. Every so often there was a national game that the entire country got to see. Can you imagine having only one or two games to watch each weekend? Well, next week we’ll look at the case that opened up the television air waves and allowed for the proliferation of college football on television.

MLB:  Court finds for players.  Federal agents violated players' rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
"This was an obvious case of deliberate overreaching by the government in an effort to seize data as to which it lacked probable cause," Chief Judge Alex Kozinski wrote in the 9-2 decision of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
