    Probably because of liability issues. 65 is like over 90% dead. They'd have to have a whole team of medical staff at the bowling center. Not to mention, how can you drug test them for performance enhancing drugs? They take 9 pills with each meal and aren't even sure what half of them are.

    Although...they could get Depends and Preparation H and Gold Bond to sponsor it. Maybe a "Medic Alert: Tournament of Champions"? This tournament brought to you by "Old Country Buffet...now with more handicap parking!!" You'd have to magnify the scoring screen so they could see it better. But it might work. As long as it doesn't interfere with Matlock, In the Heat of the Night, Walker Texas Ranger, or Wheel of Fortune...it could probably get some decent ratings.
