HUGE Opportunity for BASS & BPT.

[OCdockskipper]

With all of the major & most of the minor sports closing up shop for the next 3 weeks, there is a huge opportunity for both BASS & BPT.

 

Right now, ESPN has nothing to broadcast while both of these tours will have two tournaments over the next 3 plus weeks.  I think ESPN would jump at the chance to pick up the coverage of all 4 of these events and would probably pay an inflated price to do so.  For BASS & BPT, it is also a chance for great exposure.

 

The only possible change would be the BASS weigh-in, they may not want a crowd.  Other than that, both of these tours have the great luck of being the only game in town.

 

I am going to be a marshal for the Eufaula event, so this may be the start of my TV career ?

That would be cool but I’m guessing it’s more likely that they don’t have the tournaments

That would be a shame.  Right now they are Forrest Gump & Lieutenant Dan out on the only shrimp boat in the entire Gulf of the Sports world.

Which one?

BASS has already cancelled a College Series Event at Lake Hartwell, but seems it more has to do with the Colleges not allowing their students to participate in any sporting events, and not a decision brought on by BASS. Hopefully, the Elite Series and Opens will continue as scheduled, but "liability" seems to be a driving factor on decisions..... I agree ...it would be a great opportunity, but likely lots of moving parts to make it happen.

BPT has started day 1 of their Lake Fork event.

 

At the very least, BPT should make highlights available to ESPN for Sportscenter highlights.
