Essentially they never vacated anyone's wins in their record books except for Ohio State's recent vacation. What a bunch of fucktards.
One example from the article.
USC's vacated season

This is why OSU is the best. Book it, bank it.

But there's no media bias where OSU is concerned...

But, but, . . . ESPN is perfectly objective in its coverage of NCAA scandals, and OSU fans just like to whine!
Wish I had a dollar for every time those exact words were posted on this site after Memorial Day.

NO! OSU fans are overreacting to a non-existant bias!

Just did a quick search. You'd have exactly $1 that you would have to pay to yourself.

Vacated wins don't matter, remember? So why the whining?

There's a difference between whining and proving a point.

Serious? That's all I heard after the vacating announcement. Now it's a big deal.
How the hell am I trolling?

That's all you heard? You weren't listening then...and maybe trolling wasn't the right word, but the point being made here isn't about the vacating of wins but how ESPN chose to selectively present them.WebFire;841761 wrote:Serious?

Pretty sure it was almost everyone here (including myself) that agreed vacating doesn't mean shit, and you know it. So why now is it a big deal?

Again... you're missing the key world: selectively. ESPN is selectively removing OSU and, in your case, UM basketball's vacated wins; yet they are choosing not to remove other programs that have had their wins striked from the record books.
You can't call something "whining" when it's a valid assertion.

Vacating wins isn't a big deal
ESPN showing one program''s vacated season as vacated and another program's vacated season as a season IS A BIG DEAL.
Do you comprehend?

No. That is contradicting. Carry on with the whining.

However, if we're going to talk bias, is it pro-USC or anti-OSU? Need more samples from other schools to support either/both cases.

Who is whining? We are proving a point that (like ts said) there is either an anti-OSU bias or a pro-USC bias happening.

I'd say you were being deliberately obtuse...but being a scUM fan that would be redundant.

You'd say it but you'd be wrong. I know what they are saying. But reporting or not reporting on something that isn't a big deal can't be a big deal.
