Headline says UNC and Gonzaga is the game we need and need to see. Whose we? I guess we need to see a program which has took fraudulent classes for years play for a championship while other schools have been punished for far less. You can't make this stuff up. It's downright sickening.

Nice article in latest edition of Bloomberg Business Week about decline of ESPN and loss in past few years of twelve million customers. I suspect "we" means ESPN.
 
I think we(ESPN) fail to understand that our positions on various sports issues are not held by the mainstream sports fan.When we (ESPN) fail to cover or address stories like the UNC academic fraud,UL strippergate,KU off court issues or possible official bias for or against certain teams there is a loss of credibility. Stephen A Smith can talk about Cal under achieving but not Coach K.

Cover sports,show highlights and talk about real issues in the sports world.Report sports news don't invent and promote your own agendas

This and the shift to covering political issues. Love that they are slowly dying by their own sword. Someone will come along and take advantage of their failures.
 
From a purely basketball standpoint Blueblood vs former Cinderella that finally busted through does have a nice ring to it.

But that fake classes and fake education thing though....
 
I suspect there will be a fair number of viewers tune in to see if "Cinderella" can pull the upset. But, if UNCheat is up by more than 9 at halftime ratings will take a nosedive in the 2nd half.
ESPN writes stories and pushes an agenda that still paints themselves as "the worldwide leader in sports" when, in reality they've been left behind by online and social sports media coverage. Heck, they don't even broadcast any of the Tournament anymore.

Would have been the same headline if it was KU vs. Gonzaga or UK vs. Gonzaga or UCLA vs. Gonzaga IMO.
