16. That's somewhat true, but TRUE fans love a good story

no matter who's playing. Everyone loves a comeback story. ESPN is not a particular champion of the underdog; they could change that if they wanted to and switch the dynamics, but they choose not to.

Case in point? Michigan State basketball. Obnoxious program, underachievers, laden with thugs and lawbreakers and early leavers, yet ESPN treats them like gods and the networks broadcast them whenever possible. They could do this with the Tigers - IF they felt like it.
