#1 ESPN has become far too political and is covering non-sports related stories. But this is true of most sports casters/commentators/writers they have always been and will always be nerdy bleeding heart liberals....yeah I'm looking at you Bob "Gun free" Cost-ASS

#2 They started off with smugness and sarcasm and it has eaten them alive and destroyed the whole idea of just covering sports.

#3 Predictions, straw men, and fantasy sports...Skip Bayless WILL play Devil's Advocate EVERY SINGLE TIME!

#4 They allow their broadcasters to play favorites

#5 They don't believe in sports...maybe they never did. They whine on endlessly about concussions, players unions, team names, and the biggest bee in their bonnet? NCAA teams against FBS teams in warm up football games/ games to prepare teams for a tough season. If you don't have David & Goliath games then all the little Davids out there never get a chance to win! See App State vs Michigan....never happens if ESPN has their way.

I LOATHE ESPN...can't wait for that station to die. Just like MTV...it took a great idea and made it into something obnoxious!

I'm conflicted on the Big 5 exclusive scheduling. On one hand you are going to get more competitive schedules and simply getting 10 wins will become a bigger achievement. Assuming we go the route of every conference having a championship game, and an 8 game playoff w/the 5 champions plus 3 at-large bids I don't see an exclusive big 5 schedule hurting a teams chance to play for the title. You could lose all your OOC games and win your conference and still play for/win the national title. On the other hand, can smaller schools and those outside of the Big 5 stay afloat financially much less be relevant in the CFB world? Hell a lot of Big 5 schools really need those extra home games that small schools provide to stay in the green financially. It undoubtedly creates a have and have-nots world in CFB but to a certain extent that already exists. Take Tim Deruyter at Fresno State. He has really got them competing but even a decade of 10 win seasons isn't going to get them in the same financial ball park as the top half of the Big 5. Hell Boise has had a great decade but still need to go undefeated, start ranked high enough and hope enough teams above them lose to even smell a national championship game.
