There will be so many commercials to encourage betting on college games that the casinos will be able to run special commercials reminding professional athletes not to do it in team facilities.

I still go to all of the WVU home games, but I’m getting close to bowing out because of stuff like this. The percentage of gameplay to time spent traveling to/from and then sitting through breaks makes it less and less worthwhile. When I figure in the cost of tickets and concessions, I could be buying a new, giant TV for less in cost and enjoy it on my couch without all the downtime.
