The Fall of ESPN College Gameday

[ralphiewvu]

I'm asking you how he benefits. You have nothing but "read between the lines". The fact is he has no direct benefit anymore than Lou Holtz pumping up ND.

Regardless even if he gets a bump and he pimps the Buckeyes I dont care. I wouldn't csre if it was Saban doing it. So even though I dont think he will benefit I don't care if he does.

There’s a difference though, Lou Holts isn’t employed currently at ND while he was/is pumping them up. That’s the whole damn difference. An I’ve already explained how he could. It certainly doesn’t hurt him to pump up OSU on fox while he continues to collect a check from them.

An I can’t wait to have 18 alerts tomorrow and and 16 of them being facepalms from ATF, lololololololololololol

And as I pointed out "doesn't hurt him" is not in the definition of conflict of interest . And as I said I would not care it I was the AD of Michigan doing the same thing.

An as I pointed out being and employee of a university and having a microphone to voice “opinions” isn’t exactly an unbiased endeavor.

It’s a conflict of interest if nothing else. OSU is on the edge of making the playoffs. Can we really trust an opinion by a university employee to be wholesome and pure? That’s the issue I’m seeing with this.

So fucking what? He's not closing who goes.

 

[ralphiewvu]

Thank you for admitting that.

I hope the show does well. I’m sick of Gameday.

Been lots of bias by the TV guys forever. I hope Meyer does pump up the Buckeyes. After the constant bias by Mark May for years it's due.

What did he admit?

I imagine he will. It’ll be interesting to see.

 

[ralphiewvu]

What did he admit?

That there is a conflict of interest.

 

[gob]

What did he admit?

There's potential for bias and potentially a conflict of interest, but it doesn't matter. Almost all of college sports media has bias, and the conflict of interest isn't really important... He can't affect how they do relative to the playoff. He can just talk about them on TV.

 

[ellupo]

That there is a conflict of interest.

Saying "so fucking what" is not an admittance of anything. He may think it is but that was not said. You bias is so strong you are making up your own narrative in your head

You are right but does potential mean there is ?

 

[gob]

Nobody is going to really know until we see him in action. It's all speculative right now.

No, your bias is distorting any semblance of common sense you had on this subject. You have proven that more than once in this thread.

An him saying so fucking what to me calling this situation a conflict of interest actually is an admittance of it. Open your eyes.

Exactly, but Ralphie is stating it as fact.

You still have not shown where there is one so how can anyone admit something that has not been shown to exist?

 

[ralphiewvu]

I have already shown 2 examples of where their could be one. Just because you don’t want to believe it doesn’t mean it’s not potential to be true. Would a potential for conflict of interest suit you better?

 

[olympicoscar]

I'll continue to watch ESPN, especially college gameday. It's part of the tradition now.
