      Re:   Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Covering Registration of
            Common Stock

Gentlemen and Ladies:

     We have  acted as counsel  to Sports  Information  &  Publishing  Corp.,  a
Colorado corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration by the
Company  of  1,000,000  shares  of  Common  Stock,  all of which  are  presently
outstanding  (the  "Shares"),  as  more  fully  set  forth  in the  Registration
Statement on Form SB-2,  as amended,  to be filed by the Company on or about May
22, 2002.

     In such capacity, we have examined,  among other documents, the Articles of
Incorporation,  Bylaws and  minutes of meetings  of its Board of  Directors  and
shareholders, the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 to be filed by the Company
this date (as the same may be further  amended from time to time  ("Registration
Statement") and such other documents as we have deemed appropriate. Based on the
foregoing,  and subject to such further  examinations as we have deemed relevant
and necessary, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Company is a corporation,  duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the State of Colorado.

     2. The Shares have been legally and validly  authorized  under the Articles
of  Incorporation of the Company,  and represent duly and validly issued,  fully
paid and nonassessable common stock of the Company.

     We  hereby  consent  to the  reference  to  our  firm  in the  Registration
Statement and to the filing of a copy of this opinion as Exhibit No. 5 thereto.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        OVERTON, BABIARZ & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
