The TV Networks (specifically Fox and ABC) are refusing to run this ad for
@SavingCollSprts today during the games.
No good reason given as to why - just ignoring us or telling us to contact their attorneys. The General Council for one major network told me it was a βbusiness decisionβ. This was AFTER weβd sent them a large wire to pay for the ads!
Why would the networks want to silence a legitimate debate around an issue that affects hundreds of thousands of kids and is existentially threatening to womenβs sports and Olympic sports? What is the βbusiness reasonβ that overrides the benefit and enjoyment that college sports provide to tens of millions of Americans?
What are they hiding??
If there was ever a question that money, control, and greed are being prioritized over student athletes, fans, and communitiesβ¦Here you go!!
We all knew that the current situation in college sports seemed very slimy and was driven by people who couldnβt care less about the common goodβ¦. But we had no idea how bad it truly is!!
Itβs become obviousβ¦We have to drain the swamp that College Sports have become!!
This fight isnβt about me, and it certainly isnβt about TV ads - itβs much bigger. Itβs about doing what is right and necessary to save a great American institution. I promise that I wonβt stop fighting until we are successful in solving this problem, and I know I can count on many of you to join me!
