There is some teeth to the ESPN/UConn conspiracy. There is a big push to get women's sports in the forefront. ESPN is heavily invested in this. USA Women's Soccer is the big driver. UConn womens basketball is right behind.

Most of the nation (including #7 Florida State vs. #9 Louisville) played last night. On ESPN's womens basketball page, here are the top 6 headlines.

How has UConn been so good so long
UConn trio highlight Wooden midseason list
UConn rolls to win 90th straight (this was three nights ago)
Honoring the legacy of Pat Summit (with Geno)
4 recruits on UConn's epic streak
The core behind UConn's 90 straight wins

I will go a step further…

UK women and UL women are both Top 10 type basketball schools. Games played in Rupp, Memorial, and YUM are well attended (like top in the nation type numbers) and the games are competitive. Winners are usually determined on a final shot or overtime. Audiences are vocal and rivalry is well established.

For some reason ESPN never chooses this game for the national audiences and will show some Uconn or ACC blowout against a clearly inferior opponent instead. SEC women's basketball is some of the most competitive in the USA with over half of the current members making a Final Four yet for some reason ESPN has chosen not to promote the conference in their post game write ups nor their pre conference coverage.
