Big10 Craigslist Scam

Submitted by IllegalShift on

I'm sure many of you saw the tweets & articles this morning regarding the Big10 championship game "seat-filler" Craigslist posting. 

A few people on the internet got a little over zealous and posted a bunch of info thoughts that weren't true. 

Here is a rundown of what was going on with actual researched facts.

Deadspin's (I know) research shows that a lot of the seats that are available are in the premium seating area on the 50 yard line, which would be clearly visible as being vacant on TV.  Thus the need for seat-fillers, since they can't possibly sell all of these $1,000 seats by Saturday.

I absolutely despise clay travis.  I live in Nashville and have to listen to his crap every day.  He is an arrogant prick.  He also many times over the last few years talked negatively about Michigan.  The sad thing is there is no other sports radio in this area to listen to except for 104.5 the zone. If you have never heard him on air, take a moment sometime to listen briefly, and you will know exactly what I'm talking about.  He is a magnificant douche!
