Look, I'm not so out-there that I think there's some kind of grand conspiracy at play. That said, it is REALLY WEIRD how ESPN has been covering the Syracuse Orange and Pittsburgh Panthers move to the ACC.
Not only has it all been negative but it's been downright scathing. Between Dana O'Neill's "woe is Providence" routine, Gene Wojciechowski's "Everything in college sports was going great until Syracuse and Pitt did this" schtick, Pat Forde's usual stupidity and Michael Wilbon's "I AM SAYING LOUD, ANGRY THINGS FOR THE SAKE OF IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT OF ME AND I WILL DANCE FOR THEM" diatribe, ...it's just been one attack after another.
Considering ESPN has a financial stake in televising Big East basketball...makes you wonder... (SORRY! I promised no conspiracy theories...sorry!)
I've already pointed out how ludicrous it is for anyone related to ESPN to call someone else "greedy" or "hypocritical." However, in the interest of fairness, I want to help. I want to extend an olive branch and show ESPN what they did wrong and how they could have fixed it. This way, in the future, they won't make the same mistakes.
You're welcome, ESPN.
