ESPN has exposed what we all have known about the necessity of encumbant dominance to ratings. And so, with Sean Miller offering $100,000 to Ayton's agent and disappearing from courtside last night, we must continue the narrative...the heroics of Ayton and the Wildcats despite the loss.
If anyone could glean the least shine of the team that beat Miller/Ayton, I have a needle in the haystack.
Instead, Ayton's first half heroics are stamped as a defiant response to the charges against his munificent coach. The second half flop...to the disgrace of his now disgraced sugar daddy.
As with Duke, NC, and now MSU,ESPN lives on the predictable revenue that comes from touting the now questionably gotten excellence of coaches whose wins are as ill gotten as the Black Sox series loss.
On the other half of the equation are those who's wins against these darlings of the ill gotten are relegated to an afterthought.
Facts are as much a casualty of reporting as is a public that no longer requires them.
