About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Will ABC finally be telecasting all their regional games in High Definition, or does the poor Pac-10 TV contract rear its ugly head once again?
If Fox Sports isn't interested in broadcasting UCLA away games then the Pac 10 should end its contract with Fox Sports asap.
Mickey mouse, just mickey mouse decision making at Fox Sports.
fox sports is way ghetto. i wish ucla (pac-10) would dump their relationship with them. i wish i wish i triple wish...
Even if the PX had a contract with ESPN, the BYU game could not be shown on a channel other than the Versus network. The only way around it would be to quit scheduling away games against BYU or Utah or any other team in that conference.
Notre Dame ran into a similar problem a couple years ago when they played Air Force on the road.
Ironically, Mickey Mouse does own ESPN and ABC!
