I know your talking about the TV coverage but I wonder how much money is being exchanged for that? Who paid who for this coverage and who is making money? I know I sound clich

After getting an idea of the numbers involved in this, no one is getting rich off the pay-per-view. There are a lot of places the money is going, and a lot of people are lending a hand to make it happen with no guarantee of making any money.

I think it could eventually become a money-maker, but I will be shocked if the numbers are strong enough this year to bring in much money for anyone involved...

Any chance that they would show the Bowl on Speed since they televised the Prelude to the Dream a few weeks after it was on HBO?

Petey, it wouldn't supprise me. Doing that is another chance a a few more dollars.

So for anyone going to the Bowl, order it if you can and you can re-live the excitement once you get back home!

Thanks for the post, Hawker...
I disagree with that. The whole trip already costs enough to do. I'm already contributing my money by going. I would like to see it, but I'm not paying for something I'll already be shelling out a lot of money for in the first place.

If it shows up on Speed (which I hope it does), I'll watch it. I'm not paying for it when I'm already spending money to go. Not a cheap trip with gas and everything else.
