    espn "prize eligible" leagues

    oh my lord. I was looking for a draft to do tonight and figured one where I had to put in a little money might make the other people take it a bit more seriously. I looked at the ESPN prize-eligible leagues.

    It's $25 to buy a team. 10 teams in the league. First prize is 100 points in the "Winner's Circle" store, which will get you a T-shirt or a water bottle. Second prize is nothing.

    Now, there's some prizes for having the overall best score across all leagues, but... really?

    addendum: Yahoo! also has paid leagues. Payout is 93%. How on earth is ESPN getting people to do this?
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

      Really? 93% of the money in gets paid out in yahoo leagues. That sounds terrific to me.

        yeah, I was pretty shocked, but if you think about it, they usually run leagues for free, so them keeping any money is better than they usually get.
