So bamas won the SEC 2 of 4 years. There are plenty if gold standard programs. espn just loves to politicize bama, like nbc does for nd. they are not the only teams getting good players. In fact, once Walker decommits to go to Florida, bama only has 5 on UA roster and 3 at the army game. To compare, lsu has 5 at UA and 6 at army, yet I doubt lsu will get any time in either game other than the KB announcement.

I agree with what you say except for there being "plenty of gold standard programs". There are not. There is one.

ESPN knows their audience. Probably 1/3 of the people watching want to associate with a winner. Why do you think there were so many Dallas Cowboy fans around the country? Or Lakers fans? Don't forget that ESPN is in the business of making money.

This is False. Ohio St, Michigan, florida, Notre Dame, Usc, texas, Etc. there are plenty other money makers and traditional programs. I absolutely put bama up there but they aren't even in the top 5 in terms of value according to Forbes. This includes merchandise, etc.. i agree that gold standard is who is having onfield success combined with ability to make $. There are plenty of those and also plenty of media hype jobs.
