I predicted all of this in August, and many of you justifiably thought I was simply mouthing off about my favorite football team in hopes of shining light on my long forgotten, never-remembered, mediocre playing days at Ball State and hamming it up in hopes of landing an invite to Dave Letterman's "Late Show."
Look, there are people with tape of Western Michigan's Joel Smeenge waltzing by me in 1987 and 1988. I have no interest in drawing attention to my playing career. And as much as I love and support my fellow BSU alum, Letterman, the "Late Show" doesn't quite stack up to sharing Oprah's stage. I've been to the mountain top.
My goal as a journalist/columnist is to be right about issues others don't see coming or don't have the courage/intellect to address.
Ball State football in 2008 provided a perfect storm. And the more I thought about this column and tracked my Cardinals throughout the season, the more perfect this storm became.
The column became bigger than an I-told-you-so moment. If I wrote a column every time I was right about something, I'd spend my entire career penning columns lampooning Charlie Weis' collapses. That would get old ... after four years or so.
Ball State's football season perfectly illustrated my problem with ESPN and why I believe the World Wide Leader is the most evil and destructive force in the sports world. It has driven and hastened the destruction of authentic, independent, democratic, courageous sports journalism.
ESPN is the enemy of the truth, and all who believe a pursuit of the truth is the lifeblood of a genuinely free society must stand against the Wal-Mart-ization of sports journalism.
I reached this conclusion when trying to figure out why Ball State quarterback Nate Davis isn't one of the top-five Heisman Trophy candidates and Ball State coach Brady Hoke isn't the front-runner for national coach of the year.
Do not laugh. I'm not on a high from Tuesday night's 45-22 thumping of Western Michigan, which secured Ball State's undefeated regular season and placed my Cardinals in the MAC Championship game. I'm not an overzealous fan. I was cold and rational in August when I told you the Cardinals had the schedule, personnel and maturity to run the table.
And I'm cold and rational now when I tell you that Nate Davis is the best player in college football and Hoke has turned in 2008's best coaching performance. I love Ball State. I'm not willing to lie for Ball State.
If it was 1985 and Sports Illustrated and print journalism were still the institutions driving the conversation in the sports world, a Ball State football alum and a late-night talk-show host wouldn't be the media people telling you about Davis and Hoke.
Believe it or not, before ESPN purchased the majority of relevant sports programming and seduced most of the creative, independent-thinking, connected sports writers to join its evil empire, there was this magical time when substance and the little guy actually had a voice in the sports world.
There was a time when writers would champion guys such as Gordon Lockbaum (fifth in 1986 and third in 1988) and Joe Dudek (ninth in 1985) for the Heisman Trophy. It's difficult to believe now, but in 1982 the 10 top vote-getters were all actually really, really good college football players: Herschel Walker, John Elway, Eric Dickerson, Anthony Carter, David Rimington, Todd Blackledge, Tom Ramsey, Tony Eason, Dan Marino and Mike Rozier.
Yes, back before one television enterprise monopolized the sports world, you actually could put together a serious run at the Heisman even if you weren't the starting quarterback of the top-ranked team Kirk Herbstreit and Brent Musberger just anointed.
Since 2000, here are your Heisman Trophy winners: Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Carson Palmer, Jason White, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Troy Smith and Tim Tebow.
Do the 10 guys I named from 1982 form a better group than the eight winners from the new millennium, and if so why?
The conversation about the Heisman Trophy and all things in sports has been dumbed down by the World Wide Leader.
This year the network pretty much decided you had to play quarterback in the Big 12 to be in consideration for the Heisman Trophy. At different times throughout the season, Chase Daniel, Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell and Colt McCoy have been declared the leading candidates to win college sports' most prestigious individual award.
When Oklahoma embarrassed Texas Tech, Bradford shot past Harrell. Here's what's frustrating. I live in Big 12 country. I follow the league and have watched them all play regularly. Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree is the best football player in the Big 12.
- B/R Ticket Guide
Here's what's more frustrating. Not one of the Big 12's quarterbacks is in the same physical ballpark as Ball State's Nate Davis. It's not close. They can't match his arm, instincts, touch, accuracy, presence, ability to move in the pocket, out of the pocket or make plays when things break down.
They can't match his resume. Getting Ball State to 12-0 under the best circumstances is far more difficult than getting Oklahoma to 11-1. I know Ball State's schedule isn't as difficult as Oklahoma's. I also know Bradford is surrounded by far more talent than Davis.
Look, if the sports world didn't operate under the control of a sports-media dictatorship, I wouldn't have to provide you the context. A powerful, unbiased, independent journalist would've traveled to Ball State during the summer and talked with the man who recruited Tom Brady to Michigan (Brady Hoke) and the man who coached Tom Brady at Michigan (Ball State offensive coordinator Stan Parrish).
Hoke and Parrish can put Nate Davis in context more effectively than I can.
Nate Davis has the tools to be better than Tom Brady. Hoke and Parrish will tell you that, and they absolutely adore Tom Brady.
If you watch Nate Davis play, he looks like the second coming of Brett Favre.
Now, ESPN2 has broadcast Ball State's last four games. The first game I believe Lou Holtz and Mark May provided the color commentary. It was their first real look at Davis, and they were appropriately complimentary and a bit guarded. The second game was against Miami of Ohio and a non-descript B team called the game.
The last two games were against Central Michigan and Western Michigan, two top-40-caliber squads who provided the Cardinals legitimate tests. Ray Bentley, an all-time great at CMU, a former NFL linebacker and a passionate follower of MAC football, was the color commentator.
Unfortunately, ESPN did not require Bentley to leave his Central Michigan pom poms at home. Nor did the network force Bentley to disclose all pertinent information, such as the fact that his son is a walk-on member of the CMU football team and that the Ball State coaching staff declined to offer Bentley's kid a scholarship despite Bentley's request.
If the viewers knew all the relevant information coloring Ray's commentary, then they probably would've understood why Bentley spent the entire Ball State-CMU broadcast pretending that CMU's outstanding MAC quarterback, Dan Lefevour, was on the same level as Ball State's once-in-a-lifetime passer.
As a journalist, it's important that I disclose to you that I love Ball State. When I have a bias, I let you know it in hopes that you will read my commentary in context. I'm hoping most of you reading this realize or remember that I worked at ESPN for many years and parted company (was fired) with the network three years ago primarily after Mike Lupica and "Sports Reporters" producer Joe Valerio made it clear that I would not be allowed to talk about Barry Bonds and steroids in a way they found disagreeable. (There's more to the story and you can Google and find all of the additional background rather easily.)
ESPN is so financially tied to the organizations it covers and so devoid of basic journalistic ethics that it cannot properly analyze the sports world. ESPN just bought the BCS television package. It has a vested interest in promoting all things BCS.
If you're going to televise multiple Big 12 games in primetime on ABC and ESPN, you have every reason to promote the myth that the majority of Heisman Trophy candidates play in the Big 12.
Let me tell you what passes for courage and independent thinking at ESPN. Chris Fowler dropped Ball State out of his AP top-25 ballot last week after the Cardinals beat a then-9-2 Central Michigan team on the road.
I'm not someone who believes Ball State belongs in a BCS bowl game. Any team — not just a mid-major — needs a top-25 victory on its resume before you even begin the BCS argument. We don't have it. Right now, we've earned the right to be ranked — in my opinion — anywhere from No. 18 to 23. If we finish 14-0, I'll be satisfied with a ranking between No. 10 and 15.
What Fowler has done is ridiculous and reeks of the kind of simple-minded arrogance that permeates ESPN. Fowler has had his ass kissed for too many years. He travels around the country during football season and everywhere he goes, there's an Army of BCS sports information directors waiting to kiss his ass and tell him how great "GameDay" is.
He has never been a professional journalist a day in his life. He's a TV personality. He knows what someone else has told him. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I'd suspect he hasn't worn a jock since junior high school.
This is the combination that is killing the sports media. No journalism background, no real athletic experience and no backbone. No clue. Fowler wouldn't make a competent blogger.
"GameDay" and Fowler are unlikely to ever visit Muncie, Ind. ESPN2 televises midweek MAC games in November. Fowler must primarily worry about his reception at BCS institutions. You would not believe how many alleged "journalists" and "media personalities" spend much of their time fretting about whether an SID, a coach or a player likes them. It's an embarrassing obsession among the media.
Fowler knows little about football and nothing about Ball State. His celebrity status justifies his AP vote.
He can't fathom the difficulty of going undefeated in any conference, especially one that is traditionally as evenly matched as the Mid-American Conference.
Brady Hoke built the Ball State football team around two players, Nate Davis and receiver Dante Love. In the fourth week of the season, in the middle of the school's most important game of the season, an Indiana University football player nearly paralyzed Dante Love with a legal and fair hit.
Love lay stretched out on the field motionless for more than 20 minutes. I knew the season was over. Love's career was over. He was Robin to Davis' Batman. Seventy percent of Ball State's offensive playbook was predicated on getting the ball to Love or pretending to give the ball to Love. He returned kickoffs, was our No. 2 tailback and quarterback. He was going to catch 120 passes. NFL scouts loved him.
Hoke and his team adjusted on the fly. Hoke orchestrates the defense. For two years, Davis, Love, Stan Parrish and the offense carried the football.
Brady Hoke and the defense elevated their production and performance from the moment paramedics carted Love off the field. While the offense struggled to score points without Love, the defense kept the opposition out of the end zone and created turnovers.
Ball State is the most disciplined, well-coached team in college football. Check the stats. The Cardinals almost never get penalized. We're the least flagged team in the nation. We're in the top 20 in the country in turnover margin.
Someone like Chris Fowler can't grasp how that helps you win football games. No penalties, no turnovers and Nate Davis are how Ball State would beat the ACC or Big East champions, teams that will play in BCS bowl games.
When you have a great quarterback and a coach who has matured over six years into one of the best in the business, anything is possible, even a school like Ball State being in the BCS discussion.
This story needs to be told. It's an awesome tale with lots of gory details. Hoke is at a university where the administration works pretty much in direct opposition to the success of the football program.
Our school president, Jo Ann Gora, wants to be the face of the university until the moment she lands a job at an elite East Coast university. She stars in the TV commercials aired on ESPN2. Three years ago she delighted in paying the women's basketball coach more money than Brady Hoke, a Ball State alum with very deep roots at the school.
At one time, President Gora had the ideal, liberal sports resume: A female women's basketball coach (Tracy Roller) was the highest paid coach at the school, an angry, spoiled, militant, high-profile black man was the men's basketball coach (Ronny Thompson) and the football coach and his staff were the lowest paid in the conference and didn't have offices.
Roller had a self-admitted mental breakdown and quit shortly after inking her new contract. Thompson claimed Gora's athletic department was racist and quit.
Hoke built one of the nation's best teams, is the MAC's eighth-highest-paid coach and still doesn't have his own office.
Stories like Hoke's and Davis' used to define my profession and enrich our enjoyment of sports. Now we're fed a steady diet of Donovan McNabb didn't know games could end in a tie and fake Red Sox press conferences.
We're dying by suicide and ESPN is Dr. Jack Kevorkian. You're dying, too. ESPN just hasn't told you yet.

Great lines. My favorite: "ESPN is the enemy of the truth". The Chiefs should draft Davis, who is 9th in passer rating in the nation among the usually mentioned suspects. Hoke will not be around for long under those conditions.

Correction: Davis is 6th in passer rating. Ball State is 9th in scoring defense.

Davis will get his chance to shine. Unfortunately it's not going to happen in college. He's this year's Joe Flacco, only he's got more talent.

Jas,
I enjoy the fact that you express your side, your insight to a story that obviously has meaning for you. As much as I keep up with college football, I am ignorant about Ball State outside of Letterman bringing attention to them. So your points regarding the Heisman and BCS eligibility ring true. Additionally the fact that ESPN has changed over time from an advocate of sports on all levels (I seem to remember men's slow pitch softball being an early fixture on the network) rings true. When you eliminate the little guy, just like the American economy, your growth status and potential remains incomplete.
I recommend Scott Rieger's article on Tyrell Fenroy's Heisman snub:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/75290-heisman-snub-tyrell-fenroy-flying-under-the-radar-for-louisiana-lafayette
Also I have posted my on thoughts on the BCS:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/73094-mars-is-on-the-horizon-what-about-a-legitimate-college-football-playoff-system
I like the fact you present your angle on truth. Having said that, I'm somewhat on board, but not entirely. I think Chris Fowler is one of the truly brighter reporters in the media and I think he probably has enough integrity to put things you've said into further review.
I think it takes the Ball States, Boise States, Utahs, Texas Techs, and Louisiana-Lafayettes to force change in college football. We are not as close as we would like, but I do believe this is a historical time and under the Obama administration you can expect legislation to be implemented to force change.
Truth itself is a moving target. At times I felt your article looses focus, but I think you have a lot of good things to say and without a doubt have the voice of someone who cares about sports on all-levels.
Congrats to the Ball State alumni everywhere.

It is nice to see some support for the mid-majors. Unfortunately, the cold reality of the situation is that the mid-majors just aren't that good compared to the upper eschelon of the BCS conferences. All of the goodwill that Utah built in '04 and Boise State built up with the win over Oklahoma was wasted when an overmatched Hawaii team got blown out by Georgia.
about 1 month ago
Nate Davis is fun to watch - as is the rest of the Ball State offense. I got a first hand look at the Cardinals last January in the International Bowl vs. Rutgers. But to say Ball State would beat the Big East champ may be a bit optimistic. Rutgers comfortably won 52-30 last year, and they were obviously not the best team in the Big East.

I've been saying that teams who do things like Ball State or Boise shouldn't be ignored because of the schedule that they play because of their conference. Most people say that they should just go to another conference, as if it's that easy to come to the Pac-10 or SEC and say 'Let me in!". It's part of why I advocate a 16 team playoff based on one thing, BCS standings. People argue with me all the time about that, but it's truely one of the fairest ways of looking at things.
Note: Every undefeated team currently sits in those top 16. The ACC 'champ' does not, and the Big East champ is in 16th.
However, I agree that the media 'coverage' of these smaller schools is shunted so badly by things like ESPN that some really good players from smaller schools are overlooked. All anyone remembers about last year's Hawaii team was the loss to Georgia where they got steamrolled. No one thinks about how they managed to get to undefeated without having the big bucks or recruiting that the bigger schools have. And even that big time recruiting doesn't translate all the time. Look at Notre Dame.
The coverage of teams like Boise, Ball State, Tulsa (before its loss), BYU (Before they lost) and Utah is woefully inadequate. You can watch long coverages against ESPN's top match-up and then, right near the end, some short one minute segment of how some mid-major won again and nothing more. Are these teams as good as the top conferences? Probably not, but when you're giving more coverage to teams like unbelievably bad Tennessee or Notre Dame over teams that are actually...ya know...WINNING, then you're hitting a travesty.
from about 1 month ago
You are not going to have an ACC team in the top 15 when there is barely 2 games difference between first place and last place in the whole conference. That sort of parity is what people always say they want, but then when it exists they say the conference is weak. The ACC may lack a superpower, but it is a tougher conference than most give it credit for.
The mid majors need to understand the situation they are in and schedule games against BCS teams. If they can win those and run the table in their conference, then they will be discussed. Everyone thought ECU would do it this year. They started out well by beating VT, but then exposed by NC State and UVA.
from about 1 month ago
Good idea about the scheduling, but harder to pull off. BCS teams usually don't want to schedule against the smaller teams. Especially not the SEC, who has the hardest in conference scheduling. And I'm sorry, but I don't like a sport where a team can be eliminated from playing for a title before the season starts. No matter who a Boise State or Utah or Ball State schedules OOC, their in-conference schedule will automatically relegate them to something lesser.
Do I believe that a mid-major is better, on average, than a team from the SEC or Big XII? Hell, no. But I feel that if you do everything right, everything the big name BCS says you have to do, then you should have a shot at playing for a title in a playoff. That's why I cut it at 16 teams using BCS standings. There are four mid-majors there, three of whom are undefeated, and only one who will taste any kind of 'glory' this season. To me, those four in a playoff might actually be intriguing as they slug it out with the big boys. I'm sorry, but I hate seeing table scraps being handed out like it's a banquet meal and expect that I should be happy they're giving the scraps.
Secondly, don't bring an argument for the ACC then complain about strength of schedule for mid-majors. All three of the top teams in the ACC have lost three games, lost to a team currently unranked, and two of the three lost to 5-6 Virginia. The ACC is having a down year, just like the Big East did in '04. It happens. The ACC will jump back up next year. And yes, I felt in '04 that Pitt had no business being in a BCS game that year when being outside of the top 16 in the rankings, and they proved as much in their BCS game. There were MANY more deserving teams, including another undefeated non-BCS team in Boise or some very good BCS teams that deserved to be in over them.
Are there going to be times where a team is absolutely uncompetitive in a playoff? Absolutely. Hawaii of last year played an atrocious schedule and got in. They did what was necessary by winning the games they were supposed to win. They also got what they deserved when Georgia pasted them all over the landscape. It's the nature of sports and I believe a playoff evens that out. But I believe the Hawaii's of my system would be outweighed by the chances given to much more deserving teams like '04 Auburn, '04 Utah and '06 Boise State who won all their games and did not have a chance to be National Champion.

I'm a proud Ball State Alumni also, and I have to agree with some of the things you say. The bowl system has to go, and more attention should be given to some of these players that are not in the big 12. I new Brady Hoke when I attended Ball State. I was telling my son just the other day, Brady pulled me up through the second floor widow of our dorm on the way back from one of my classes. He was a great football player who played on the undefeated team back in '78. After Dante Love's unfortunate incident, Hoke did an outstanding job keeping his team focused and making the necessary arrangements. He deserves more credit then what he's been getting. There will always be people who will never get the recognition they deserve because of politics. I still hold out that someday college football teams will have playoffs to decide which teams really deserve their rankings. In the mean time, GO CARDS you've made us proud!!!!

When I heard about how good Dante Love had been and that his playing days were over I figured BSU would probably crumble without their star. But they obviously have a lot of depth to keep going for an undefeated season. Unfortunately people tend to rate teams based on their conference and not vice-versa, and the MAC is seen as a weak mid-major, so they don't get the attention they deserve.

Are you kidding me?
Ball State does not deserve to even be mentioned in the same sentence as any of the top ten teams. The toughest team they faced all season was Central Michigan, for god's sake. They have the weakest SOS of any top 25 team and they would be blown out by USC, Ohio State, or any top ten team.
from about 1 month ago
Quoting Jason:
"I'm not someone who believes Ball State belongs in a BCS bowl game. Any team — not just a mid-major — needs a top-25 victory on its resume before you even begin the BCS argument. We don't have it. Right now, we've earned the right to be ranked — in my opinion — anywhere from No. 18 to 23. If we finish 14-0, I'll be satisfied with a ranking between No. 10 and 15."
He's not saying that Ball State should be mentioned in the same category as a Top 10 team, CF... he's saying that they deserve more cred than they're getting, from ESPN, and from people such as Fowler at ESPN who dropped Ball State from the ballot only now, in order to disrespect them.
Before you attack his argument, make sure you know what he's arguing. In his quote above, he's already specified that right now, No. 18-23, and if the Cardinals go 14-0, then No. 10-15 (let's make it No. 11 so you don't get offended, ok?)
So, CF, where do *you* rank Ball State? I have them No. 15 in my most recent list (check my profile).
from about 1 month ago
I'm not offended, I just think that Ball State, with the weakest SOS in the country, should be treated the same as Tulane was in 1998, which was not even getting consideration for a BCS bowl game.
I have them #17 or #18 which is lower than most everyone on here, save for maybe two or three voters.

Whitlock,
Great job in the Jungle today. Nevertheless, I took umbrage with your pro-BCS commentary and I have called you out. My latest column is dedicated to how wrong you are about the BCS. Please read it if you have time. Still, other than the BCS, all of your takes are excellent! Keep up the good work!

I don't believe that Ball State is BCS bound. They simply don't have the schedule to do so. However, I've heard of them putting a thumping on good Western Michigan and Navy teams and I saw them put a thumping on my Hoosiers.
It's upsetting that there are no non-BCS, at-large bowls on New Year's Day. That's what BSU deserves. Not the GMAC, not the International or the Motor City, but a solid New Year's Day Bowl. Good article.

Jason, it's good to see you here at Bleacher Report!
I'm in Lawrence, so I'm somewhat "local" and I read your column in the Kansas City Star when I can, usually once a week or so... however I don't do the sports radio thing, so I don't hear your show on the Kansas City AM station (if you're still doing it, that is) and I don't much care for ESPN's equivalent of that, such as "Pardon the Horn..." ;-p
This is a well-argued case for two main reasons:
(1) Ball State is being deliberately ignored, if not also actively dismissed... not for the BCS (hey everyone, notice that Jason isn't arguing that the Cards should be in the top 10, he's arguing for 10-15, and that's if they finish 14-0), but for *any* consideration as a "big" story, including Nate Davis' chops for Heisman consideration; and
(2) ESPN being evil incarnate, the spawn of Satan, and to quote Jason, "ESPN just bought the BCS television package. It has a vested interest in promoting all things BCS." Fowler dropping Ball State from his AP Top 25 poll is just the most blatant example of the contradiction that ESPN has become. ESPN has become more about entertainment (and flashy shows), and less about sports (and competition)... the FCS (I-AA) playoffs excepted.
I'm holding out the slim hope that someone who both supports a playoff and actually has some measure of political and/or financial power (whether that be the President-Elect, someone from Congress, or T. Boone Pickens...) knocks some BCS heads together and gets the playoff going within the next cycle... a transitional playoff system for the 2010-2013 seasons (2011-2014 bowls... what ESPN has just bought the rights to), and a full playoff system from the 2014 season (2015 bowls) forward.
Yeah, I'm an idealist. But I also know that there are workable and pragmatic compromises that could work, and that could be put in place without substantially altering the current BCS setup.
Definitely 5 stars and my POTD. I'll try not to pick you too often, though, Jason, since you already have a professional gig with a paper... ;-) we're mostly unpaid amateurs here, and the "unpolished gems" need the extra recognition!

Let the HELL HOUNDS HOLLAR, there are far too many examples of QB's tripping over their own feet
just out of the gate into the NFL. Former Senator Barry Goldwater of AZ said, when he was running
for President in 1964, the he would rather be right, than President. "I'D RATHER BE RIGHT THAN
PRESIDENT" Thats a bumper sticker I would put on my truck. Ole' Abe said, "I'd rather fail in a cause
that would eventually win, than win in a cause that would eventually fail........would one QB rather
learn the game in collage and play in the NFL, or win the trophy and fail with the big boys.....

I personally think that Ball State simply doesn't have the strength of schedule to warrant a BCS bid. If Hawaii proved anything to me last year, it's that racking up a bunch of home wins in a lesser conference shouldn't automatically qualify you for a BCS berth.
I would almost be willing to put money on any of the ten BCS squads beating Ball State soundly.

So Utah defeating Pitt and Boise defeating Oklahoma means nothing?

why is ball state too scared to play BSU?
6 days ago
Ball State was hardly scared to play Boise State. That's like Ole Miss not accepting the bowl bid to play Texas Tech in Lubbock. It was in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. That's not a real fair deal, Penn State might go to the Rose Bowl to face USC, but they also get millions, you don't get millions or have a fair chance in the Humanitarian Bowl against Boise State. They haven't lost in that stadium in quite some time.
Here's just a quote I'd like to quote to show you what I mean:
The mystifying magic of the Blue Turf continues in Boise, Idaho. Since 1999, Boise State has compiled a 54-2 record on the Blue and continues to climb the ladder of elite college football teams with their home record. - Posted Sep 30, 2007
