Here's one for you.
ECU and ESPN's decision to televise and play an ECU football game on Firday night was met with a lot of disapproval by HS coaches, Fans, and the NCHSAA. Friday night has always been a sanctuary for HS football. But ESPN and ECU chose to violate that, and have thus, opened the flood gates for future games.
Now, the #1 HS football player in the country is Chris Leak from Charlotte Independence. ESPN contacted the NCHSAA and requested permission to televise part of a recent playoff game that Independence was involved in, during halftime of an NCAA basketball game. The President of the Association basically told them to gotohell. They didn't like that answer for some reason, so they went to the Board of Directors, who also said no.
It was nice to see ESPN tuck their tail between their legs and head back to Bristol.
