It cracks me up that people think just anyone can pick up a mic and do the job. It isn't that easy and there is an art to It. And you have to be committed to give up your time for what I'm sure is terrible pay.
And fewer and shorter TV timeouts were NEVER an option. The unfortunate reality is the Big 12 no longer has big eyeball schools and this is what they have to do to try to cut how much further behind they're falling in the budget department.
I don't care who's doing the job, it's more the concept of having something like that at a college football game like it's some cheap carnival like atmosphere.
