College Football TV Announcing

[aRmo]

I noticed something odd this year. It isnt just our games its across the country. ESPN personnel has been pretty bad at their calls during the games. From kids names to whether or not they are a starter. What is and is not a foul. There is a huge difference between the guys at Fox and ESPN right now. These guys have meetings through the week with the coaching staff. To get some of these names/positions/starters wrong is puzzling for sure. This is me just knit picking and switching up the subject. But Fox is killing it right now. For example and yes im going to use us as one because I see us the most. But for 4-5 weeks straight when talking about Nico they DID NOT get his name right. Absolutely butchered it. Some laughed and played it off. Its like these guys are not caring as much as they used to. IDK maybe its just me. Have you guys noticed it too?

ESPN doesn't need to invest in production and talent and they know it. They've got the contracts they want locked down.
