Message: [QUOTE="Get a Job, post: 4211715, member: 9775"] Regarding this "respect" issue: Could it just be as simple as there are a lot more fans of schools from other conferences. I don't know the numbers, but I can't imagine fans of Big East schools make up more than a low single digit percentage of overall college basketball fans. Media outlets cover that which makes them money. Of course, this doesn't directly address any "disrespect" as far as seeding goes, but a.) I am not sure how real said disrespect is, and b.) if Big East schools get less coverage, that could lead to the schools being less front-of-mind for the selection committee, leading to potentially lower-than-deserved seeding.
