This is an old article, but I found myself agreeing with the foundation of the author's claims. I believe it highlights why we will not see the type of future coverage from ESPN that we desire for the FCS. I believe our best bets rely on CBS College Sports and other TV to give us better FCS material.

ESPN/ABC will broadcast 33 of the 35 bowl games during the 2010-2011 college football bowl season.


The other problem, although not nearly as treacherous, is ESPN/ABC has complete control over the images, statistics, and commentary associated with the college football bowl season. They alone will shape the narrative of college football’s most important time of the year.
