Listening to Sirius last night and a caller (probably someone on this board) raised the issue of Villanova not getting enough press relative to the other contenders. Frischilla acknowledged and prefaced his comments by saying "I need to be careful here because I get paid by the Worldwide Leader" but it's true. He then posited that it was because FoxSports1 was new and developing. Packer then commented that it was also true and unfair, but Foxsports1's other content was "abysmal" and suggested the lack of crossover market (motorcross/UFC/nascar) was the reason - I inferred that, but I thinks it's a fair inference.
I thought it was refreshing for Frischilla to say what he did, and also provided further evidence that ESPN management takes this personally.
