The coverage on Fox College Sports has been great. Very few commercials and they actually show the races in their entirety. Definitely worth the extra $5/month.
I think that Phelps, as talented as he is, may be spreading himself too thin by attempting the 100-400 free, 100 fly and 200 IM. It's hard to IDEALLY train for all of those events because they are so different. His 100 split (49.17) was close to his best so he maybe he will be more "on" for the 100 and 200. Nonetheless if he had made the final I think that Hackett still would have won...
According to my local cable company, less than half of all cable outlets carry Fox College Sports.
They can show the spelling bee becasue they can get sponsors for it. Oh, the children. But also imagine what watching 3 hours of swimming woudl be like if you knew nothing about what was going on. I really think that if the made the qualifying times harder to get to htere would be fewer swimmers completing and the meets would go much faster. Then they would be more easy to sell to sponsors. Should there really be a "c" final in NCAA's?
