My great uncle worked his way up to police chief of a small New England town and served in that role until Parkinson’s and colon cancer rendered him unable to work any longer. He was one of the kindest, bravest men I’ve ever known. I grew up thinking that all police were like him and because of that I try to give…

This article is based on the false premise that college baseball is a profit generating sport. That 12-year, $500MM contract was for broadcast rights to 24 different NCAA championship events, not just college baseball.
