Just as the Tribune wraps up its series on college sports and television dollars, here comes a startling report from the swamps of Jersey. And, no, this is not another attempt to sneak some Springsteen into the sports page. USA Today reported that Rutgers used almost $27 million last year in university and student-fee money to balance its athletics budget. Over the last five years, the Big East school has used more than $115 million to cover its athletic department's spending. That's almost twice as much as any other major conference athletic department received from its university coffers. And here's where it gets ugly: State funding cuts have forced Rutgers to withhold $30 million in scheduled raises for its employees.
Brian Sullivan, the sports anchor for WFVX (Fox) Bangor and WVII Channel 7 (ABC), wants to fill a void in small college sports coverage on television. So WFVX will televise Husson University's men's and women's North Atlantic Conference basketball games against Maine Maritime Academy on Saturday at Newman Gym in Bangor.
With all his background in sports television, the years of creating network connections as a college football analyst for CBS, Fox, TNT and NBC, you'd think that USC athletic director Pat Haden had to be Pacific-10 Conference commissioner Larry Scott's right- hand man in creation of this new 12-year, $3 billion deal that the Pac-10 struck this week with ESPN and Fox, as well as the launch of a conference-owned network. Not so, Haden says.
College and pro football take center stage in September. For that, sports television viewers can be thankful. Good luck trying to find a Major League Baseball game that means much in the regular season's final month.
