I find it funny that the regular NBC network has opted to air rugby for 3 hours.

Despite this new contract I still stand by my point, this is headed in a the wrong direction

NBC was the original broadcaster all day sat.
ESPN which is still big time took over for a while, not as good but not bad.
NBC Sports Channel - definitely a big step down from ESPN, NBC picks up distaff and classic but its promoted as a society event (did not even mention the actual race until 15 minutes in yesterday). Only for about 15 minutes total in the hour.


I dont see how this is spun as a positive trend.

If I were the sponsor of the Juvenile Fillies (14 Hands Winery, I believe) I wouldn't be happy with the deal. The race sponsors get a decent amount of marketing "placement" that they expect will been seen by the substantial home audience. They also get mention on air and typically at least one ad during to the run-up to the race. 14 Hands received none of that because "their" race didn't get on air live.
