[NU Sports] Bowls on TV

[Labbe John]

Yeah, just like Monday Night Football, all the BCS bowls are on ESPN  
this year.  It's part of ESPN's effort to take over the world (the Big  
Ten Network has essentially followed the same playbook).

Also, note that 4 of the Big Ten Bowl games are at overlapping times  
on New Year's Day: TicketCity, Capital One, Outback, and Gator (3 of  
which feature Big Ten vs. SEC).  The Outback and Capital One use to  
always overlap, but four overlapping Big Ten games is a new development.

You would think they would try to spread out the games featuring the  
same conferences given that they will attract a lot of the same viewers.
