This is a great point. ESPN may not be as good as they used to be but one area that they absolutely shine in is self promotion. If the Big East was still on ESPN they would be promoting the crap out of College Basketball and the Big East.they're still a thing but certainly not promoted to the extent of what it used to be, Big East not being on ESPN and part of that Big Monday lineup certainly doesn't help. back in the day you used to have the Saturday games promoting that Big Monday slate as well and Big East Monday doesn't exist anymore.
