Yet there are those who tout Joe Lunardi (an ESPN employee) and his bracketology as evidence/proof that the Big East is an elite conference. So when an employee of ESPN says something negative on the conference, it is because there is a conspiracy against a non-ESPN conference... but when an employee is positive on the conference and gives it credit... no conspiracy exists. Color me shocked as well.
I tout the Big East's successful out of conference record and performance as evidence/proof that the league is an elite conference. I don't need Joe Lunardi to tell me that.
Stu Jackson had an excellent screenshot of ESPN touting the "top" basketball conferences last week (with regards to out-of-conference records), and ESPN "conveniently" left out the Big East. The Big East was 2nd in the country with a .760 winning percentage. Poor research or biased reporting? You tell me.
Bias.
