HALL OF FAME COACH MUFFET MCGRAW EXPANDS ON 'UCONN BIAS' COMMENTS
Former Notre Dame basketball coach Muffet McGraw is expanding on her comments from December, when she said on the "Off the Looking Glass" podcast that ESPN and the media have a UConn bias and entered into a back-and-forth debate with UConn head coach Geno Auriemma.
McGraw didn't back down from her original statement on the latest episode of NETLIFE, telling host Dawn Staley, "It's not just ESPN, but I think there is a bias toward UConn. I think they promote UConn a little bit more well, actually a lot more than they promote other teams."
The outsized coverage UConn enjoys, according to McGraw, doesn't represent the growing parity in women's college basketball. Four different teams South Carolina, Notre Dame, Baylor and Stanford have won the last four national championships.
"The casual fan of women's basketball only ever hears about UConn," says McGraw, insisting that the media should cover other programs that have been dominant in recent years, including the reigning champion Stanford Cardinal.
