According to this article from The Gainesville Sun, Scrabble is coming to ESPN. Inspired by the success of the World Series of Poker broadcasts, ESPN will bring the 2003 Scrabble All-Stars to TV later this year. Taped Aug. 15-18, the top 24 players in North America competed for over $100,000 in prizes. If ratings are good, future Scrabble events may follow.
I, of course, predicted it all.
