I’ve got an idea for those Saturday night football games that are scheduled solely for the benefit of corporate television.
Since the games are aimed at nothing more than padding the bottom lines of the networks and the NCAA’s Division 1 schools, then what could be more fair than sending them the bills for the costs incurred by the cities in which the universities are located?
Why should Disney-owned ABC, the NCAA, the Big Ten and the UW’s athletic department, for example, make a bunch of extra bucks while the taxpayers of Madison pick up the tab for extra cops, overstaffed detox centers, and the dozens of other added costs that those late games in college cities require?
