PITT vs UTAH Thurs night. Where is the ESPN pregame coverage?

I know the game is being broadcast on Versus but it is the best game of the night

I am not asking for them to send erin andrews and her nose to cover the game but at least send Ed Werder or Wendy Nix.. but i'm not even seeing the game on the espn bottom line ticker

Both the Big East and Mountain West Conf battling for respect and both teams are potential BCS Bowl level talent. Both are preseason top 25 teams Dion Lewis from Pitt is a legit heisman contender and one of the 5 best running backs in the nation

But neither team is a great ratings machine like a notre dame ( who gets headline status despite being irrelevent for the last 20 years) if you only watch ESPN TV or radio you barely hear the game even mentioned.

ESPN pretends it is newsworthy sports reporting but is this not a big example of how ESPN's desire for ratings has compromised their integrity?

ESPN has the power to control the polls by what teams they show in highlights and how they can push or hype one team over another.

    For some stupid reason espn has a problem with the MWC and you will almost never see the conference get any national coverage on espn. It's truly ridiculous that they can't put this game on espn when both teams will probably win 10 games. I also think pitt is going to win the big east
