The author raises some interesting points, though I think he goes overboard on his assertions of the treatment of Winston vs other athletes who got in trouble (particularly given the fact that he does not disclose that he is an FSU grad).
It is interesting that the chatter asserting SEC bias has risen to the point that ESPN has had to start addressing it. The points on the hype impact on how schools get treated in the polls as a result of wins and losses for the SEC vs say the P12 is hard to dispute.
