An Open Letter to CSTV

Dear College Sports Television,

I want to start by thanking you for your coverage of the Penn vs. Princeton matchup this evening (3/8/05). It is hard for fans of Ivy League sports to get out-of-area coverage of our games. It would have been nice for it to have been a meaningful game, but I’ll take what I can get.

Ok, maybe I won’t take just what I can get. It would be wonderful if you could pick up more than just once Ivy League Basketball game a year. The games of the “Big” leagues are available on ESPN or Network Television. Slightly smaller conferences and you can at least pick up some of the games on Espn Full Court (for pay). But us “Small” [market] leagues don’t have an outlet like that. I always thought that your network had made a niche for itself by covering Small Market sports (like college baseball and lacrosse), so why not expand your coverage of small market leagues as well? It seems like a natural fit for me.

Sincerly,

Bill Napier
Penn ‘98
