@tpfactsonsports: ESPN has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week. ESPN’s College Gameday has banned all religious signs for folks inside the pit during Saturday’s show in Provo, Utah ahead of Notre Dame at BYU. Cameron Clark, a BYU reporter, shared a photo of the “pit rules” on socials Friday afternoon, and fans online are questioning the decision. This marks the second straight weekend that such signs will not be allowed to be shown on the broadcast. Gameday visited Tuscaloosa, Alabama last weekend, and Sport & State reporter Brecca Stoll shared similar photos of the announcement inside Coleman Coliseum to what was on display Friday afternoon in Provo. Notre Dame (Catholicism) and BYU (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) both boast strong religious beliefs, and the signs being banned do not mirror the beliefs and missions of either school. The Gameday decision is an off one knowing the schools involved, and just in general - but let’s be real: ESPN clearly does not care what fans want or like. The billion dollar network agreed to expand the College Football Playoff to 24 teams on Thursday, and have faced a ton of criticism from CFB fans online over the move. ESPN picks and chooses their fights, and always end up battling the wrong things. Do you agree with ESPN’s decision here?🤔 Photo attribution on slides. #CollegeFootball #cfb #cfb26 #cfb25
