Delany criticizes CBS and ESPN

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany criticized major network college basketball analysts for disparaging his league this season. That wouldn't be as newsworthy if the networks weren't Big Ten TV partners.

"I don't think it's the beat writers," Delany told a small group of reporters during the off day Sunday at the Final Four. "I think it's mostly electronic media and I think it's mostly CBS and ESPN.

"Their acumen and their insight are not backed up by the performance of the teams over time."
