I'm sure you're probably right, but I know enough good B10 games make it to ESPN that it's fooled me for at least a couple years then that they generally carry bigger games and have their choice. Count me in to the "old guy" category, but the best sports viewing of my life was Big Monday back in the mid 80s with the Big East, then Big 10 then Big West games. You'd get to see St Johns, Gtown, Cuse, Providence, Nova, etc... then the best of the Big and generally then UNLV to end the night. 6 great hours of college bball. If that's true, that the biggest games are routinely no longer on ESPN, while it may make the conference more money, it certainly hurts the promotion of the conference nationally. Of course, we're talking about the same brain trust that decided to act solo on canceling, errr, delaying the football season this year while the SEC and ACC went forward, so who am I to question their knowledge?
