ESPN Game DAY same B.S.
They were playing a game with the hosts. Kind of like the old "Lets make a deal quiz show. So they would pull a card out that said something like Auburn to the sweet 16, or Texas A&M to the NIT. Then the host would have to agree or disagree and receive a gift behind the curtain.

They must have had a dozen cards and in every case it was a team from a so called "Power 5 " conference. Not one school from any other conference. A good question would have been: "Will the CUSA Champion win a first round game for the 4th consecutive year"

Man it is so universal the way that damn network just promotes the same freaking teams even in a goofy game they were playing.

You know what most people don't remember is in the early 80's ESPN had no college basketball games on air. All the games were only on CBS,NBC & ABC and it was the Sun Belt that had the first Basketball game of the week to air on ESPN.

Back then the Sun Belt had WKU, UAB, ODU VCU, USF ,USA, Charlotte and Jacksonville. (one year that group of teams sent 4 teams to March Maddness)

So many teams that are in CUSA today gave ESPN their start when they were a start up network.
