[net.sport.football] ABC controversy

reiher@ucla-cs.UUCP (08/22/84)

The way I heard it, ABC and CBS agreed to split the disputed games, one
getting Nebraska-UCLA and the other getting Notre Dame-USC.  The PAC10
schools disagreed, claiming that the games belonged to the home schools.
(I wonder if they would have felt the same way if they were played at
Notre Dame and Nebraska.)  Since more money would come to them this way, I
don't think that this is just being done due to their inherent sense of
fair play.  This would indicate that ABC is not to blaim.
