Honestly, Living in a Big Ten university, everyone here feels the exact opposite. ESPN really doesn't like the Big Ten other than Basketball (When it is good). The only team that gets credit Nationally is Ohio State(way too much if you ask me), other than that All I hear about is SEC in Football, and ACC in Basketball. I know you think that I am wrong because Big Ten had the Football rights for awhile, but ESPN now has SEC, and first hand I can tell you that Illinois has been screwed when it comes to nationally televised games....Not saying I like Illinois getting more Air Time over SEC Teams, but It seems to me if it is a choice between #21 Illinois v.s. #7 Missouri, or #23 Alabama v.s #12 Clemson.....Alabama gets the Nationally Televised game.....(That isn't the only example, just one that was close enough to decently compare it too.)
