As much as I dislike Kentucky, Pitt and Cuse, they don't hold a candle to how much I would love to see ESPN fall several notches.
Certainly they have been great for college sports and still are to a large extent. However, like any thing that's good initially, it changes. ESPN is now similar to how investment banking became corrupted in big banks. They co mingle their invested products with the overall product. They appear to be even handed even as they aren't. The preference that the ACC does poorly has less to do with my animosity towards that conference as it has to do with it being a big money maker for ESPN. I hope the ACC get dragged through the mud this season and ratings are hammered for ESPN.
Of course I hope ratings in the AAC don't drop even as I'm afraid they might. I want the conference I resent to impact ESPN, not the conference UConn is affiliated with.
