"I know ESPN having so many games and bowls they cant always have top of the line equipment trucks and production. That said the Iowa vs Vanderbilt bowl has absolutely dreadful picture quality. We got to be able to do better than this. Having an ESPN monopoly on pretty much every CFB Bowl game is such a buzzkill. Variety breeds better production and and better equipment for everyone.
