ESPN isnt that great of a sports channel anymore... They are oversaturated with garbage hype and less about the sports reporting itself...

If I remember right, they were already using the NBC Sports branding on Versus during the Tour de France coverage.

Just as long as they bring back the NBA on NBC theme music, I'm happy.

That could be pretty awesome, actually.
But yeah, they'll have to challenge FSN before they get to ESPN. ESPN has slipped considerably, but they still more money than God and can still snap up the rights to almost anything they want. They're a giant and it will take a heck of a long time for an NBC Sports network to catch them. This should make FSN sweat, but ESPN has some breathing room still.

I like all the "mini/niche" sports networks now like NFL Network, MLB, NBA, Big Ten Network, etc....
ESPN is what it is....The Entertainment Tonight of Sports. |

It's NBC. They'll be lucky to compete with the CBS college network.

hopefully it'll be a good alternative to ESPN.
ESPN blows. Aside from the 30:30 stuff, and Sunday Countdown etc... |

And I love CBS College Sports... it's the only place I can find college hockey on tv, outside of the Frozen Four (well, until the Big 10 starts their own league in a couple of years and starts showing games on their network).

Along with that, Nebraska-Omaha, North Dakota, Colorado College, MN Duluth, Denver, and Miami-Ohio are forming their own league. Before any of that was officially announced, St. Cloud State said they would stick with the WCHA regardless of what happened, but I'm wondering if they're rethinking that... I'd like to see them move to the new conference. I think Notre Dame is still deciding what to do. There have been other moves recently... I think Northern Michigan has moved to the WCHA, and the other Alaska school might, too. You can find a lot of info and links at ndgoon.blogspot.com.
