More ESPN silliness

it's still a hype. they may not broadcast the Big 10 but this new deal will allow them to broadcast the playoffs Clark is a big part of that promotion to lift the ratings of women's basketball and as soon as she's drafted they're hoping that exposure will extend into the WNBA as they attempt to raise their ratings as well. it's the same playbook NBC and the NBA used in 1979 when they broadcasted Magic vs Bird to improve future NBA ratings by hyping up the 2 best players in college at the time. History has shown it worked

Which is fine and expected, but my reply was in response to someone who believes ESPN is only focusing on teams from conferences they have broadcasting agreements with.
