[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 166752, member: 2175"] I don't disagree at all with the first part and I would bet my house several big time coaches agreed and counted their blessings. I do think ESPN gets too much credit, though TCU surely made a playoff case at the end. But the cynicism directed at Herbstreit and Huarte is unwarranted. I think Herbstreit is without peer on any network -- and a long time admirer of Johnson's offense, by the way -- though Huarte is kind of so-so for my taste. It says little for their character, and I wonder if the same criticism leveled at Roddy Jones or Sean Bedford would be an endorsement for a GT education or football career. After all, a traditional justification for football is that it builds character, not -- excepting Lou Holtz and Lee Corso -- that it produces carnival barkers. As an addendum, make no mistake that college football programs are corporations. Johnson probably has more "executives" reporting directly to him than any other department. Everything sold in gift shops or concession stands is all about "branding", and all TV and radio about exposure to get more business. There's a reason the SEC coaches stay mum when some programs are buying players wholesale, and it has to do with wrecking the brand. That they won't do. [/QUOTE]
