lol people scream for objective reporting, unless it involves shedding negative bullet points on something they're supporting.

I think her articles have been fine so far. it's no secret this conference isn't magically fixed overnight. there are still major hurdles, but the light has finally turned on at the end of the tunnel. we just have to get there without running into a train.

I can't take any ESPN article seriously. The conflict of interest is just too great.

Do you honestly think Andrea Adelson is following some anti-BE corporate policy with her blog posts? It could be time for some of us to remove (or at least loosen) our tinfoil hats.

Honestly I think her reporting has been fine. However her employer ESPN is hardly an independent reporting agency considering that they have a vested interest in the outcome of the TV negotiations and the future of the Big East's media rights. The value of an ESPN article has declined since they began advising other conferences which teams to invite from our conference. Most of the negative things to be said about the Big East are an indirect (or maybe even direct) result of influence from ESPN.
