ESPN Ignoring the Big East?

[NYCRedmen]

So I am watching ESPN's "Bracketology" and I keep watching the Lunardi Conference Breakdown which is sliding along on the bottom of the screen ticker. It's listing all of the conferences separated by "locks" and "bubble" teams. Ironically there is no mention of the Big East. They only list Louisville when they show the Automatic Bid Schools, but curiously no Big East when they list the conferences. Maybe there are no Big East bubble teams & I am just hating on ESPN, but I think it's more than a coincidence. For what it's worth, I have not seen a Pac-12 or Big-12 breakdown either, aren't those two conferences also headed to FoxSports1 along with the Big East? Hmmm

To be fair - Lunardi on ESPN says there are no bubble teams from the Big East, so there is nothing to fret over. He says 8 teams are locks and all the rest have no shot of getting in the NCAAs. So there is no debating them.

But on the other hand, I'm sure that ESPN will definitely poo-poo the Big East now that they are partnering up with Fox. It only makes sense.

I know but when I didn't see the other FoxSports bound conferences listed, I thought it was curious.

Do you know that ESPN is talking to Fox about sub licensing games? So they must not hate the Big East that much.

Actually I did read that somewhere, maybe this is a sign of how negotiations are going LOL.
