re: It’s so gay all the major bowl games are on ESPN now

ESPN controls college football. As an SEC fan you cannot be mad at that. As soon as the SEC signed a deal with ESPN they made sure to put the SEC out in front. Without ESPN the SEC would not be as dominant as it is.
The Longhorn Network is also controlled by ESPN. It was not surprise that Texas joined the SEC. If you're not a fan of the SEC you can see college football dying a quick death.
The Big 12 is associated with Fox Sports. ESPN took Oklahoma and Texas to cripple Fox Sports. That's just a fact. Follow the money and who the conferences are associated with.
ESPN wants the NCAA out of the picture so they can control all of college football. Well, at least the teams that they want to build for their own version of the NCAA. They broke up the Big East because ESPN and ACC had an agreement. This is a known fact and they are doing it to the other conferences as well. So don't bite the hand that feeds you....
