They had no choice. They have to stay relevant. Way too many eyeballs in B1G country, not to mention a huge alumni base that is all over the USA and world.
agree 100%, which is my whole point. they won't shit on the b1g just to prop up sec/acc/etc. just like they won't dis cfb and/or cbb just because the nfl/nba makes them more money. they have large investments in both, not going to hurt one just to potentially help the other one. not even sure how it would, not like the b1g people are going to change the teams they support just because espn has 3 more minutes on sec teams during cfblive, and vice versa.

Back on topic...


I was wondering when this would happen, and here it is. Jabrill Peppers weighs in. It would be interesting to hear what his old bosses (looking at you, Jim and Urban) have to say (if anything).

Urban isn't talking to the press at the moment, but I'm sure Jimmy could give up some awkward pauses at the podium this afternoon post-practice

So what? 
Like Muschamp said, you can always find disgruntled players.
The time to pile on. I guess Harbaugh is complicit too, since he brought him with him.

Muschamp… asshat. I can't believe he said what he did.


I don't think anyone is piling on. If a former player talks, it's a story - or at least part of the story.

I'd agree.  How many SEC Network personalities have crossover shows or guest appearances on ESPN?

I’ve always thought the biases can become more subtle as well. Not necessarily some grand conspiracy per se. If your network or publication has a contract with a conference, you as a media member will spend a HUGE amount of time covering those teams and coaches. You forge relationships, much like a beat writer. When push comes to shove they naturally will be less critical about their own vs. how they cover others.

What'd he say haven't had time to catch up on all the drama?

ESPN/SECN certainly had a stronger crossover plan from launch than FOX/BTN did.  From talent to graphics, you really would never know if you were watching ESPN or SECN.  At least ESPNU or SECN.
It took until the last couple years to even tell FOX and BTN were partners, let alone any sort of synergy between presentations.  Granted FOX only started televising Big Ten games in the past couple years, so there was really no use for it.
