There a chance that larger network affiliated stations could end up big

Those stations want to be on those little Direct Broadcast Satellite dishes,

The cable industry may go to the FCC and say, you're making us carry all the
local channels, the satellite industry should play by the same rules.

If the FCC agrees, that could, at the very least, delay satellite broadcast
of local stations.

According to a new study by the National Athletic Trainers Association--
more than 23-percent of players-- nearly one in four-- are likely to get
injured in a season.
The researchers looked at both male and female teams-- and found certain
players, in particular-- kids who play half back-- an agressive position-- are
more likely to be injured.
The moves that most likely hurt players-- kicking, followed closely by
dribbling.
Consequently, ankles and feet sustain the most injuries.
Researchers want schools to make sure they hire Certified Athletic
Trainers to educate about injury prevention and rehabilitation.
