ESPN hates us

[UCONN-NYC]

Taking everything into consideration this season with the injuries and the painful close losses in regulation and especially overtime, and also the way this team is playing now, this headline just seems unnecessary.

A lot of people don't know this, and they'll never admit it, but ESPN has an entire secret department dedicated to coming up with anti-UConn material.

 

[artest693]

In all honesty, has something actually happened to cause a rift between UConn and ESPN?

 

[billybud]

oh gawd !

Yep...some ESPN journo thought "how can I make a headline of a UConn win into a negative".

Or is it a pertinent fact...the program will avoid a losing season.

And isn't it just the ESPN way. They spread the bad news around.

ESPN hates UNC...the Headline...."How North Carolina's 2019-20 Season Unravelled"

Or ESPN on Duke..."They're Uke. Duke without a D".

 

[AllAbout5]

Don't worry! You can read all about LeBron James and Zion Williamson breathing and Dick Vitale's love for Duke.

 

[UCONN-NYC]

When Uconn wins its first conference game next season, the ESPN headline will read
"UConn wins first Big East game in 7 years"

Nonsense. It's no secret at all.

There’s a course required for a Syracuse Communications degree called “How to Spin All Things UConn to the Negative”

The course is Communications 1<4. Communications 4>1 is the graduate level course.

I can't remember the last time I went to ESPN.com

 

[Hankster]

Actually we are making headlines on the ESPN NCAAM homepage. Since this team has really shot up ESPN was showing 3-4 articles with vids. Haven't seen that in years.

 

[djct1999]

Well, we hate them more.

They don't hate us, per se.

They hate themselves, and this headline is just a manifestation of their self-regard.

If they felt better about themselves, you'd never see a headline like this.

AAC=ESPN
Big East= FOX

Who cares

@zls44 Is this true?

 

[gtcam]

Has UConn had 3 consecutive losing seasons? Yes
It's not a lie
That being said - Journalism is DEAD
I do echo Lluconn - Who cares

Yes, it’s called every Syracuse grad that works there

I left them a long time ago also, but lately Kemba brings me back, for a couple of minutes only though.

Yeah, the demise of the old Big East.

UConn leaving the AAC means that ESPN is drastically overpaying for AAC Conference content.

On the other hand. Each ESPN+ subscription originating from the an AAC region is a direct offset.

They need about 100,000 subscriptions per fanbase per year to completely break even, and they just lost a dedicated pool about 1.5 Million households from which to draw UConn's contribution, plus what UConn would cover for other fanbases like ECU, Tulsa, and the like.

ESPN is run by vindictive idiots. The headline on the game recap is so absurdly stupid that the writer either hates UConn and/or is trolling UConn fans. Either way, it is not appropriate for a news organization.

I don't know about ESPN overpaying for the AAC, but the stupidest move ESPN could possibly have made was low-balling the Big East in 2011 in order to fund the ACC's raid. ESPN ended up paying tens of millions a year more for less content than they would have had if they had just made a reasonable offer to the Big East.
