    Tweet from Sports Business Journal: The waiting game continues. ESPN and Fox teams continue to wait it out at hotel lobby bar. NBC remains out of site.


    That doesn't sound good.

    I was at the Pan Am Games in 2007 down in Rio. Overcast, gloomy, drizzle, temps in the upper 50s/low 60s throughout. And it was dark by 4:30 or 5 p.m.

    Definitely didn't feel like a "summer" games, at all.

    But the good news is that they will be making a LIVE ANNOUNCEMENT about their acquisition of the next four World University Games tonight at 2 a.m. Eastern on Bravo.

    Translation: Comcast won the Olympic rights, and if they run out of NBC channels, they'll just add some more.
