    I always thought of this as a chicken or the egg situation. Does ESPN broadcast a particular sport which then gains appeal and is aired more or does a sport require a baseline level of viewership for ESPN to show it? For women's BB, I think it is the former. ESPN has shown it for years and years including college and WNBA. The ratings are growing apparently, albeit slowly. If they actually aired hockey once in a while, they might accumulate an audience for it. How about one game/week?

    Per a USCHO article on the issue, the NCAA signed a 12 year deal with ESPN for exclusive rights to ALL NCAA tournaments last year, outside of basketball, which is owned by CBS.

    This really sucks, as I feel like NBC Sports could do a fantastic job with the NCAA hockey tournament, it do it some justice.
