Espn says we lost out in the realignment

[TheSker]

And yet his name wasn't brought up once. Funny how you did when people were talking about blowouts and Nebraska not being relevant though.....

 

Familiar "source"

Is this to suggest that deep in the bowels of their Connecticut headquarters, several muckety-mucks at Espn were chomping on their cigars, saying:

 

"We've got to get our chokehold back on this tv deal! The B1G network is inching closer!"

ESPN is likely quite aware of reasons for adding Rutgers and Maryland to the B10.

 

 

Hmmm...let's see, how much coverage does the Big Ten Network get? How much did they spend on Bevo Network? How many people watch that?

 

Hmmmm...you think maybe they would like to take our network down a notch?

Yes and that scathing article in the OP is just the first missile. Good freaking God. Espn writing an article accurately saying Nebraska hasn't exactly set the conference on fire when they were picked to win it the first year they joined, or kinda isn't once the program it once was on the whole isn't some sort of grand conspiracy to kill the Big Ten Network. If NU was going 11-2 and they wrote that, maybe you'd have something. But all that article is at the moment is accurate.

I'm not sure I'd use "accurately" or "accurate" when referring to ESPN. Ratings and accuracy have different definitions.

The move to the big ten wasn't a decision made to immediately be a great move. We moved for the future. Let's grade the move in 15 to 20 years when the landscape of college sports is still shuffling around. Heck. We don't even know if the realignment is done. It's so unusual for Espn to rag on the big ten.

Please tell me outside of visibility what was inaccurate about the assessment of Nebraska's performance in the Big Ten so far.

You're about six exclamation points away from blowing a cerebral artery over this. It's not that big a deal.

 

It's Christmas season. Relax. It'll be OK.

Hey Mr. Frumpy Pants, lets all sit together and Bo-Lieve!

We have not won the conference championship yet. The overriding point being I don't care about an assessment from ESPN. We need to continue our recruiting momentum and get to the next step. ESPN can do whatever they need to fill 24 hours.

No, actually.

 

They're.......weird.

ESPN is a direct competitor to the Big Ten Network. The Big Ten Network currently poses one of the biggest threats to ESPN's billions of dollars per year college football industry.

 

ESPN rates our move to the Big Ten poorly?

 

Color me surprised.

But on the other hand, we didn't really do anything good to make them rate more favorably.

 

Step back a minute and ask why the list needed to be made in the first place.

 

Careful. If you question ESPN's need to fill airtime with broad self-serving speculation, those same standards apply to everything we do to waste time here on HuskerBoard.

Ah, so you can't. Great. Moving on.

If only we made billions for doing what we do here, huh?
