How Mad is ESPN...

[Jet915]

Bill Raftery is not doing the game. It's Gus Johnson and Jimmy Jackson.

That's weird......Raftery even did a FS1 one on one show with Coach K airing today.

What's good for the "Fox Sports" brand is good for FS1. The more games we can get on network TV, the better.

College Gameday just did a blind resume segment, but instead of deciding between teams, it was conferences. All three analysts (Jay Williams, Greenberg, and Bilas) all picked Conference A, which turned out to be us.

Bill Raftery is calling L'ville at Pitt on CBS.

It's in Bill Raftery deal to stay with CBS/Turner that he CAN'T do games on FOX.

Someone's producer isn't drinking the ESPN Kool-Aid. He'll probably be suspended for making "disparaging remarks" about the network's properties.

In all honesty though, people see what they want. ESPN isn't as Big East negative as what we post on HolyLand. Yeah, they're not promoting our brand, but that's what happens. Look at FoxSports1 - you'd think the ACC, Big Ten and SEC didn't exist at times. Pac-12 and BigEast centric because they own those brands.

Just out of curiosity, which conference did they compare the BE to?

Big Ten. While they had four teams ranked to our two, all the other metrics (including ESPN's BPI) favored us. I wish they had put up the Big 12 or ACC (which are closer to us) but they didn't.
