What else are they going to air this time of year? They don't have rights fees to Men's tournament, MLB does not start yet, no NFL etc. I am sure it does better than SC reruns

I honestly find it hard to believe this is the absolute best they can do. Even during summer I remember ESPN showing a bunch of the WNBA when there are plenty of baseball games on. I know a lot of it is related to league contracts, but I'm not sure which party benefits from limiting the games shown on ESPN.

Exactly. And the funny thing is, the competitive games are less compelling than what UConn is doing to Miss. State right now. But ESPN puts the game early in the day to best hide the embarrassment to WBB that this is.
