Spring Break
Pipe dreams
Nick Lilja
Issue date: 5/14/08 Section: Sports
I want there to be equal attention in the media for male and female athletes, everywhere, regardless of sport. Glorifying a guy for hitting a grand slam is easy but a female athlete from Oregon State that makes it to the Olympics, that story writes itself.
I want the college baseball season to be shorter. Giving ball players degrees from accredited universities is ludicrous with the amount of time they spend in a class room from January to June. Giving each team a 40-game season cap won't hurt anyone - except the athletic departments.
I want the same rule to apply to softball.
I want CBS to cover the NCAA March Madness Tournament without cutting to commercial every time-out - and if not, do away with commentators. It's useless to have commentators if there is no commentary.
I want everyone to read an old book about sports - something from the 30s and 40s. It would give everyone a bit of perspective.
