ESPN Announcers
Posted: Sat Nov 25, 2023 9:58 pmWith the upcoming contact negotiations, I know people have been wondering if we'll stay with Fox or if ESPN will make a worthy bid. Now, I only really have the time to watch Nova games in Atlantis, but with all the non conference games this past week, how have you felt the coverage of Big East teams has been by ESPN Announcers?
Usually, I feel we get horribly ignored. I remember watching Big5 games against Temple and StBlows on ESPN past years where Nova would be dominant and they'd still try to talk up how great the team they had the contract for was. This year, even against their golden boys in powder blue, they couldn't stop talking up Dixon and Nova.
Are other Big East teams getting this new preferential treatment by ESPN Announcers? Think it's a sign? Not that I want to go back; I've been very happy with the Fox announcing teams (hell, at this point my "meet a celebrity" wish would probably be splitting a bottle of wine or two with Raf), but competition is good for our stock...
