Fantasy Sports on MySpace? Why not!?

I am on MySpace, and was wondering why there is not a Fantasy Sports application. There are groups, but no official applications. The thrill of fantasy is that you play against your friends. It just seems logical that if MySpace is a medium in which you can communicate with close ones, then this should be offered. Fantasy sports is a rapidly growing industry, and it is highly popular among young people. MySpace would be breaking into a major market segment that could reap huge returns. No doubt they would have to use an ambidextrous model, so that the Fantasy Sports team is in sync with the other groups, but they will have direction and guidance in their own area.

Also, there is a general sentiment that MySpace is for younger users, while Facebook is more appropriate for college students. Why not jump on people when it is early?
