ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

They went to Eugene to see Indiana/Oregon. They actually split fairly evenly between SEC and B1G.

So one game Indiana played more than a thousand miles from home. Georgia and Alabama both hosted Gameday on campus this season. So they're depriving Indiana fans of being on Gameday the one time they're in a big game close to home all season. Doesn't seem too fair to those fans to me.

I do believe there is an element of them wanting to have a variety of locations. I also thought one Gameday trend was for them to give a program like Indiana that has rarely has had much exposure a chance on the big stage when they earned it. Not so fast, my friend.

ESPiN is heavily biased. The sun comes up in the east. The sky is blue. Water is wet.
The company is about making a profit by building their brand as an entertainment sports company. They have always been driven by the first letter in their name. They are going to push the areas where they have a financial interest (S-E-C), and ignore areas where they do not (B1G) as much as possible. While there is some B1G bias, no one believes with half a brain believes they are fair and balanced. In other words, they don't give a rats ass about Indiana. If anything they will subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) do what they can to tear down the B1G.

Why in the hell are you watching Colin Cowherd? Do you realize they literally had a meeting to discuss how to do exactly what you almost did?

How people who actually watch these rage baiting morons think production meetings go:
"Hey guys, another great week in sports. What do you all think is worthy of air time today?"
"All the conferences had their championship games....we could talk about that."
"Lot's of good action from the NFL this week. Can you believe the Chiefs might not make the playoffs?"
"They're probably playing NBA games now, somebody could google if anything is happening there."

How production meetings actually go:
"OK guys let's bait some rage. Which fanbase gives us the most eyeballs when we shit on them?"
"Ohio State"
"Notre Dame"
"The Packers"
"Nice...nice....everybody come up with some one liners that will get those message boards flowing. Now, which topics generate mountains of clicks when we talk nice about them?"
"The Chiefs"
"Yankees"
"Cool. And which conferences are we currently in bed with.....making us more money when they do well, even though that goes against journalistic integrity of covering the sports instead of involving ourselves in their day to day interactions?"
"The SEC"
"The ACC"
"Alright......you know what to do. Go out there and farm that outrage!"
