I’ve made the blanket statement more than a few times in talking to people in casual conversation: “television controls sports scheduling – especially football.”
After participating in an exercise sponsored by the Mid-American Conference Wednesday the perspective has broadened just a wee bit.
A group of MAC beat writers participated in said exercise led by officials of the conference, including commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, deputy commissioner and COO Bob Gennarelli and associate commissioner media and public relations Ken Mather.
How did it help modify my views? A little education is a helpful thing.
Gennarelli is the principal behind MAC scheduling in football.
