My reply to you would be I wish there was a better Pac-10 network (is it even still around??) to watch. Good football and baseball. I wish there was a Big 12 network to showcase the whole conference equally. I wish there was a ACC Network.. theres a lot of other teams that deserve the attention, but sadly it seems the dolalrs and eyeballs don't follow to make it happen.
I will concede your points, I know the Big 12 was in a bad place around 2010, and I know yall had no love for your AD (I started following you closer in 08 when started dating my now wife, No pics). Nebraska is a dumpster fire set with dreams of the past. let it burn.
So I think this loops back to why would Espn show a season long series on Mississippi, a team that's made Omaha once in the past 50 years. well because they draw eyeballs. Should it be on one of the other channels vs SEC Network? not likely but I dont know the time slot you saw it in, might of been filler.
I haven't looked does the LHM have a season long series on the baseball team? If so, yes.. it should also be shown on the main channels.
