Summary

Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos welcome you to "OG on Business", an every other week look at the sports media business. ESPN is taking College GameDay to Indiana. While Ovies thinks the destination tracks with the show's typical October curveballs, Demetri is convinced it's all part of a Lee Corso official retirement soft launch. Speaking of ESPN, what is their role in the success or demise of "Project Rudy"? Disney and FOX essentially have a duopoly when it comes to college football broadcasting, so where would the push really come from to adopt the proposals of this college football super league idea? Joe and Demetri close the podcast with quick thoughts on Tom Brady's ownership role impacting his role at FOX and how a certain demographic of ex-ESPN personality goes the 'cancel culture' route after they leave Bristol.

who is tied to this think tank. Right. That's backed by some

pretty big money former TV people. I think Jimmy Haslam's involved with this as well, which means

Tennessee is involved in this. Okay. And it just kind of got back Bernard and I never really thought

involved in this think tank.

1:38.7

Where do things stand?

1:40.2
