“The Lead” on ESPN’s crawl Sunday morning during SportsCenter highlighted LSU’s narrow win over Alabama in the rare No. 1-vs.-No.2 showdown. Then it noted that No. 3 Oklahoma State barely held on to beat Kansas State. It mentioned that Oklahoma beat Texas A&M but lost the nation’s top receiver to an ACL tear and it mentioned that the NBA Lockout is in its 129th day.
Much like a fumbled snap, the Worldwide Leader dropped the ball.
The biggest story in college football got swept under the rug because Saturday’s lights need to be shined elsewhere. The most tragic kind of scandal was ignored Saturday because the money-making machine that is young men grinding on grass was running at full steam.
Swept under the rug. Ignored.
