MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — One team’s Big Monday is another’s big headache.
That’s the distinction to be drawn from West Virginia and TCU entering their featured matchup on ESPN.
Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins no longer sounds keen on the compressed turnaround following Saturday games. Whereas years ago the promotional exposure seemed worth the inconvenience, nowadays nearly every power-conference game is televised anyway.
“Big Monday used to be like the weekly Super Bowl and it’s not any more,” Huggins said.
In Fort Worth, at least, it sure feels like happening.
Because TCU has never been a part of the Big Monday lineup that ESPN debuted 30 years ago, coach Jamie Dixon filmed two promotional videos for the network.
