The Red Brick Times

My latest "letter to the editor" (written because Ohio State football is now only available to those Ohioans who can afford cable TV):

"Dear Editor,

The paper delivered to my home last Sunday must have been delivered to me by mistake. I say this because it included coverage of the Ohio State football team. I'm sorry to say that I cannot pay the extra tariff Ohio State no doubt demands for receiving print coverage of this sport. I cannot afford cable TV so obviously have no right to receive a newspaper containing this information without my paying an additional fee over and above Chronicle subscription rates. Yes, I know, I already contribute to Ohio State through paycheck deductions but our signature university needs more money for projects like the one reported in the September 3rd 2007 edition of the Plain Dealer:

"Ohio State is shelling out $2 million to update and remodel the mansion that houses the university's president, just seven years after spending $1.3 million on a previous renovation of the house, university officials said."

I'm sure the university president thinks of Ohio cable TV users every time he walks in his (newly remodeled) door. Anyone care to take a guess at what he thinks? My guess: "Who said you can't get blood from a turnip? Hahahaha!"

In the future please clip Ohio State football articles out of my Chronicle sports page as I cannot, and will not, pay extra for them."

Ohio State is going about it all wrong. How to make money in college football: be a loser.
