A lot of hay has been made since Bo Pelini openly questioned the SEC's relationship with the Worldwide Leader in Sports. While other conference have deals with ESPN, the World Wide Leader shelled billions to the SEC for the rights to their network. It's speculated to be the richest TV contract in college football history.
Does that buy you sway within ESPN? Former ESPN frontman Dan Patrick sure thinks so:
Dan Patrick saying yes there is a SEC bias with ESPN. It's a Billion dollar investment they need to make money off of it.
