Letter: Bowl games should be on free TV

Related Topics: Utah, ESPN, As I

As I watch the college football bowl schedule in the newspaper, I become more and more disgusted every year.

More than 90% of the games are viewable only on pay TV channels: ESPN, FS1, etc. This is a travesty.

Colleges in Utah in particular are supported by your tax dollars in a big way. It’s too bad that so many of our residents in Utah and in the nation cannot watch their home teams play a major sport like football bowl games.

Many people have chosen to dump pay TV because of its outlandish prices or just can’t afford it, but yet get strapped paying taxes, directly or indirectly, to support these institutions of higher learning.
