I'm look at all the effort and flat out bogus reporting that is going on. It to me is obvious the media which is for all intensive purposes is centered where?, in the northeast (New York) and in Big 10 country (Chicago). Now they are going after the gumps this is just getting redicoulus.

Everyone wants the SEC to fall. Period.
We're the best conference

No, they just get more hits on articles based on the sec.

While people do love to hate winners, I think you need to take the tin foil hat off.

All media: No, they just like the drama. They don't want the SEC gone, they just want us to stay the most powerful AND the most corrupt.
The legacy sports media: Maybe. They grew up with Big 10 football and ND domination, and they can't deal with the new normal.

Yes but if all of us have done this we will be penalized whether it is a witch hunt or not it doesn't matter.

This thread is eerily similar to a thread not too awful long ago.....

Look at what is going on. There are individuals in the media with agendas and platforms to spout off of and they do it constantly. I haven't read up on what is going with Bama. Who in Yahoo is breaking the story and what is his background?

I dont know about everyone else, but Ihave heard a lot lately on this site about how ESPN wants to take down the SEC and I just dont buy that. ESPN stands to lose a fricking SHITE ton of money if the SEC brand takes a hit with the massive tv deals they have going on.
As far as everyone else? Other than ESPN and CBS, probably. Nobody likes to see the same folks take home the hardware every year.

Yes, there are a lot of older journalists from the northeastern schools that are so pissed about SEC dominance that they can't see straight..

We're the most corrupt conference, with 'Bama being the most corrupt team.

If you're SI or Yahoo, why would you put your resources anywhere else? You will get more of a return on your investment by focusing your resources on the SEC.
I have no doubt that there is some element of "what can we do to kill the giant." I'm sure that is some motivating factor.
But the biggest factor is green. It's just like the Oklahoma State story isn't a story unless Miles is involved, which is why they are playing up that angle as much as they possibly can. Otherwise, who cares.
You have to read these pieces understanding the motives of the so-called investigative journalist. They are ACTIVELY sniffing out any crumbs to bring down a big program so they can get paid. It's not like they just stumble upon something and follow up on it. They are going in not on some moral justice seeking purpose, but with dollar signs in their eyes.

Yes - because they want to bring the hits the SEC gives regularly to the rest of the country. They cannot do this unless the other conferences can start winning.
TV revenue. Los Market: USC terrible despite #1 ranking last year and Notre Dame getting the ND treatment etc...
They need the country back. The country knows what we know - the SEC is the best - by a mile.
That is why the big ESPN JFF issue. They invested 300 million in the Horn network - which I feel is a conflict of interest BTW. In any event - ESPN trashed talked A&M leaving the conference while also trying to say A&M was meaningless - which is it? Many teams had already moved?
Then = the worst nightmare - JFF - sumlin. Shermin leaves 4 #1 NFL lineman. and Texas with NFL talent has more rushing yds against them in one half than in a game in their entire history.
You can say what you want about me. but a 300 mil investment is likely aimed at gaining a 1 billion at least profit. If you are looking at a 300 mil loss - what do you do stockholders:
1st: make sure the competing state school does not win another Heisman. That is death nail.
2nd: slander the coach and the school - someone google their moral code and read it on the air.
Done.
What about the other guys?
Do we own 300 million dollars of stock in the "other" guys?
No sir
