Being someone that keeps up with both, I see both sides. A reporter that can bring a Bama or Ohio State down can "earn his wings." That is very sad.

the reason your friends in the south dont know about the OSU stuff is because they probably dont watch ESPN. thats the only way to explain it. |

Buckeyenation27, you missed my point totally, which is pretty common for you. My point is around here pay more attention to regional schools and the same is true for the region in which you live. While Ohio State has been blasted by ESPN and other media outlets, Bama was slammed by ESPN and Sports Illustrated,etc. The difference for you, it that you probably did not notice the Bama allegations to the same extent that you notice the allegations revolving around the Buckeye program.

That is complete and total bull [censored]. When was the last time that Ala was the lead of a Sportcenter??? I am sure it is a big deal in the South but it is a regionalized story NOT a National one. If you and your friends missed all the gory details of the OSU allegations night after night after night is because you are living under a rock with no cable TV.

I'd say they were covered differently because Bama was a cut and dry case of being busted. tOSU has been more of a hot-on-trail tabloid story with constant turns. A report of an event vs. an investigation. I do agree that we do pay more attention to regional news.

Folanator, thank you for making my point. The Mike Price/ Alabama situation was all over ESPN and Sports Illustrated. It was even covered by CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and ABC national news. The fact that you don't recall this is probably due to the fact you don't keep up with Bama football.
With that said, I am not minimizing the poor treatment of Ohio State by ESPN.
