College Football on PBS

Besides the fact that Jim Tressel and Mister Rogers both have a thing for red sweater vests, I never thought there would be a connection between college football and PBS.

Until this week.

The Nightly Business Report starts a four-part series tonight called The Business of College Football. It can be seen in Los Angeles on KCET (channel 28) at 5:30 p.m. The episodes will profile a large program, a small program, licensing and merchandising, and coaches' salaries. Based on the promo materials, it doesn't look like USC is the subject of any of the four shows, but that doesn't mean it won't get a few mentions.
