You’re making my point. They’re traveling halfway across the country when Southern is in our backyard. Just so ESPN can have their primetime “storyline.”

Cincinnati is going to Oregon State instead of Louisville.

Central Connecticut is in Fayetteville. Harvard in OKC. Army in Lubbock. You have to put Yankee one-bid leagues somewhere.

They made a team from Baton Rouge travel to bring Stony Brook here to play in primetime. If you don’t think ESPN played a part in that, you’re crazy.

Ask yourself this: if Southern stayed here, do you think ESPN would force LSU to play the late game? Would this series even be on a broadcast network or would it be banished to ESPN3?

The Southern coach was openly lobbying the NCAA to not send them to BR. Stony Brook is a small school on Long Island this won't be a blip on the radar in NYC. If it were St. John's there may be a little more weight to the this is a set up for ratings argument.
