Indiana University football coach Curt Cignetti has publicly criticized ESPN for what he describes as preferential treatment toward the Southeastern Conference over the Big Ten, according to a report from The Big Lead.
The comments, reported Thursday by Stephen Douglas, add to ongoing debate about media coverage disparities between college football's two most prominent conferences. Cignetti, who led Indiana to a 10-0 start this season, did not specify particular broadcasts or incidents in the available report.
Neither ESPN nor Big Ten officials have issued immediate responses to the criticism.
