Message: [QUOTE="ucbart, post: 3249347, member: 1511"] Just thinking out loud a little here: What do you think will happen with our coverage on ESPN when we make the move to the Big East, which has a contract with Fox Sports? Surely, we are moving to a much better conference, albeit one that isn't contractually involved with ESPN. I know some think ESPN doesn't cover us well, but from a WBB prospective, they cover whatever the "it" team is. We have gotten the most press from them over the past 20 years, and deservedly so. But, during that time frame we've always been in a conference with an ESPN contract. . 1. Every year ESPN puts out a "mid'major" top 25 once a week. Do you think we will be slotted in that as a sort of duck* You? We were never in it as part of the American, but again.....contracts. 2. There will never be another home game on ESPN. Do they ice us out of away games too? Or do they know our viewing power and put us on marquee away games? I could see both that happening. 3. During tournament coverage, we will get next to nothing in the marketing and coverage, IMO. They will show our games because they have to, but we will no longer be immune to "whip around" coverage. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
