ESPN vs The Ohio State University

Similar to Fox News' Network bias toward Republicans, or ABC's toward Democrats, an unexpected TV channel is biased against an instiution. Anyone who watched ESPN's coverage of the Alamo Bowl which featured an under ranked Ohio State football team, could easily see that for whatever reason, ESPN seemed out to get the program. Anyone who believes that Ohio State has the only players who take money from boosters, or have grades given to them is living in a dreamworld(http://www.danwismar.com/archives/wizblog/002655.html). It seems that ever since the Buckeyes won the national title in 2002, nothing but bad things have been said about them. Now I know that some of you non-buckeye fans will say that Ohio State won on a call. So to that I say, what's your point? The New England Patriots beat the Oakland Raiders on a very questionable call to reach the super bowl a few years ago, yet everyone loves the Patriots. So I guess my question is why does everyone hate Ohio State so much, is it jealousy or what?
