Okay.... if you can't even keep track of the sponsors for bowl games, you have too many bowl games.

Now I just want to see some rich billionaire fork over dough for a bowl game named after himself. Get Mr. Amazon on line to sponsor a Jeff Bezos Bowl.

ESPN Events’ announcement came the same day a front-page Journal story revealed that the fledgling DreamHouse has no business license with the city of Albuquerque and that its CEO, Eric G. Martinez, has faced multiple judgments for unpaid debts, including $16,717 for a credit card debt he still owes. Also, the company’s address is listed as a residence, even though ESPN, when announcing the sponsorship, said the company had a 25,000-square-foot post-production studio in Albuquerque. ESPN had described DreamHouse as a multi-entity firm focused on serving the state’s film industry with production and post-production services.

Someone failed to perform simple due diligence.

Someone failed to perform simple due diligence.

It's absolutely crazy that they could have staged a sponsorship announcement outside an effectively empty business center.

One can only assume ESPN sent someone to the announcement event. Did they not bother to go inside the building?
