ESPN and ABC probably broadcast three to four times as many Big 10 games as SEC games.
What major broadcasting company is affiliated with ESPN? That's right, ABC. What major broadcasting company is affiliated with SEC games? That's right, CBS. So how is it you claim the above?
And what's with jumping down Erik's throat? Oh, he gave his objective opinion.
ESPN has a fifteen year deal to televise SEC sports, I realize CBS has a contract with them as well but that is how I claim the above.
An objective opinion doesn't require crazy assertations like that I want 40 minutes of Hawkeye highlights during Sportscenter when I made my complaint pretty clear. Also, I don't think I jumped down anyone's throat. I was probably just as reactionary as the posters were to me, probably should have just let it go, but .....
He is absolutely right.
Riiiiggghhhtttt. That's why ESPN has about 2-3 Big 10 games on EVERY weel during the season (more than the Big 10 network) plus 1 almost every week on ABC.
That's why ESPN has a dedicated blogger, solely for the Big 10 (and one for every conference).
I can understand hating ESPN's national talking heads (Forde, Rome, etc) but to say that ESPN hates the Big 10 is ridiculous.
You want to know why the Orange Bowl didn't get much coverage? It's because it's two days before the national title game. Do you also get upset when ESPN shows more coverage to the NCAA tourney than the NIT? I don't know where some Iowa fans got this complex where everyone is out to get them, but it's becoming extremely annoying.
This is one of the smarter things I have ever read here.
The season, and the endings to several games, may have been exciting.
That doesn't mean, to the average college football fan, that Iowa is an exciting football team to watch.
