WHATS UP WIT ESPN AND CLEMSON?

Has anybody noticed how ESPN hardly ever mentions Clemson on its "recruiting" page anymore? Yesterday prior to Xavier Kelly committing---- the front page for recruiting was previewing him making his announcement and saying that he was going to choose between "Michigan and Alabama" in "just a few minutes etc". --- then the guy makes his commitment to us (Clemson) and all of a sudden everything disappears and not one single announcement about him going to Clemson or anything! NOTHING!!!Whats up with that? It was like --oh well--he didnt go to the teams we thought so lets just not report anything about this guy now! COME ON ESPN---GET WITH IT!!!!

at least that bias doesn't carry over to their recruiting rankings. They usually have are classes ranked highest out of the 4 major recruiting rankings.

ESPN sucks. If it weren't for a few college football games; I wouldn't watch it at all. Fox sports is where I tune in now.

I can't stand their coverage of any sport. It's all sensationalism, and no journalism. I haven't watched too much of the newer style Fox Sports. Hopefully it's much better than the cheaply produced version of fox sports.

ESPN ratings are starting to fall. I think they don't exactly know what to do about it.

college football coverage. Sorry but, contrary to popular belief, fans of teams outside of the $EC really love football. The past 2 football seasons have really effected their ratings as far as their college football coverage. The attempt to make Ole Miss and Miss. State as national powerhouse programs completely back fired on ESPN, with both schools have a hard fall at the end of the season, and both schools having their supposedly tough defenses get throttled by TCU and GT. And another year and another bowl game where Bama takes on an opponent who runs the hunh, and Nick Saban(the god to all $EC fans), once again gets out coached by an offensive style that has completely perplexed him on how to defend.

This is ESPN's problem :
To much bias toward the SEC and thus anybody interested elsewhere is fed up and going to other outlets. This may also explain why the ACC hasn't created their specific network. If ESPN doesn't understand then they need just look in the mirror!
Go Tigers!

It appears that the liberal-progressives have taken over ESPN and do not support any institution that has any moral standards. There agenda with Clemson is to make fun of Dabo and downplay any of the great things he does with his program. That is why you hear nothing about Watson(great kid) in their preseason analysis. If you represent high moral standards you are nothing to ESPN

It's economics not politics.

ESPiN's partner in NCAA sports is the SEC. Outside that they seek attention from the followers of schools with big fanbases such as ND, USC, UMich and Tejus.
