Despite the restrictions, I actually thought this would be cool. Maybe I can cook something up something useful for myself and my friends?
However... NO SCORE DATA in the free API?! That's the only useful information. Just limit free API usage so I can at least toy with it without having to completely sell my soul.
So basically, all I can do through the public API is pull news headlines. Without paying ESPN, all I can build is a free app (no ads either!) and use it to add headlines to direct traffic to your site. There is no incentive for any developer to use this.
Here's a hint ESPN: you already have free "Headlines API." They're called RSS feeds.

There, every headline you could want from ESPN.
Oh, you want something more specific? Here, I just created my own feed for LSU Baseball: http://search.espn.go.com/rss/lsu-baseball/
