What??? You’re telling me that a television network’s main objective isn’t simply to highlight the extraordinary efforts of amateur athletes as they participate in extracurricular activities on days in which they don’t attend classes???
Funny. Reading Nicole Auerbach’s tweets last night, and between the SEC refs and the non-stop SEC shilling by the announcers, I think she feels like Ralphie walking out of the bathroom with his decoder ring: open-eyed and cynical.
To be fair, she works for the Notre Dame Broadcasting Corporation now, so it’s not like her network is clean in all of this. Hell, NBC created the concept of the “Rah rah! How great is THIS program?!?!” propaganda.
