If there was ever a better example of the current hypocrisy of the sport, from ESPN’s splattering of gambling data and ads all over its website while similarly reporting on the Sorsby case left and right, I don’t know what is.

Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
Its only hypocrisy if you’re putting it under a morality lens. That’s the wrong lens. The correct lens in sports, as usual, is money.
Gambling drives interest in sports. You can’t rely on that interest if the gamblers lose faith in the integrity of the game.
So you drive gamblers to watch the game and at the same time drive gamblers off the field. It makes perfect sense and there is no hypocrisy there. It lines up perfectly.
