Why are Ohio State fans directing attention to the SEC instead of Urban Meyer?

quote:

In one of the most misplaced displays of blind fandom since Penn State fans marched for Joe Paterno, thousands and thousands of Ohio State fans are throwing their support behind disgraced coach Urban Meyer and trying to cast him as a victim. He's not. He's a manipulative coward, and he deserves to be fired.


quote:

The ugly side of college football was on full display in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday night when some Buckeyes fans decided to not only defend Meyer like some heroic martyr, but -- and this still blows my mind -- but co-op Ohio State's domestic abuse scandal into propagating some bizarre conspiracy theory about the SEC and ESPN.




quote:

Why are Ohio State fans trying to lump the SEC and ESPN into this scandal of Meyer's making? Do Ohio State fans think that ESPN wants Meyer fired? ESPN employed Meyer as a college football television analyst after he flamed out at Florida.

You remember Meyer's tenure at Florida, right? Aaron Hernandez? Chris Rainey? Ring any bells?

Meyer actually had a safety on his team at Florida who stole the credit card of a deceased student ... who happened to be the girlfriend of Gators cornerback Joe Haden. Now that's "#RealFraud."

ITs very weird up there, they may have michigan but the SEC is all they talk about. I think they may listen to finebaum more than SEC people do.

ESPN getting from both sides on this.

When the story broke, everyone was accusing them of trying to protect Ohio State because they were silent on it for several hours.

Laughable

The media slurped Ohio State all year in 2006, called them the greatest team ever, and laughed at the idea that lowly, ugly Florida could ever beat them

After 41-14, the "SEC is the toughest conference" narrative was born, and the SEC proved them right.

I laugh whenever Ohio State fans call the SEC overrated. The SEC hype is a beast that OSU created by getting stomped by Florida, 41-14

Lol

I remember when that collection of arrogant, pretentious schools named their divisions "Leaders" and "Legends".
When they were looking to rename them some wag proposed "SEC Victims" and "Future SEC Victims".

Fans outside of the conference call ESPN

eSECpn.

It’s been like that for a while now. They think we get special treatment from the network.

They think Mcmurphy is some covert rogue journalist placed by the SEC/ESPN to take down Urban/Ohio state

Not saying they cater to us but we run the network for sure and rightfully so.
When you have a sport /conference like that that brings them in the money/views, i don’t care what they do.

And it starts with the great voice of our great conference, Paul Finebaum.
The motherfrickin man


ETA: people also forget Mcmurphy isn’t technically employed by ESPN anymore, but still being paid by them
