I’ve seen this on Twitter this week. This is ridiculous criticism and makes our fans look stupid.

It’s not a grand conspiracy that a 4 star athlete that barely cracks the rotation in 2 years gets a lower transfer rating. It’s obvious. We are still thrilled to have them.

Drake Toll going after ESPN & 247 for downgrading players transferring to Big12

He is building a very compelling case of media collusion to prop up SEC and downgrade Big 12

2FarGone

Which makes no sense to me because the Big12 is an ESPN property also

isn't is a shared property with Fox and don't they pay the SEC much more?

2FarGone

Of course, but it seems like you'd want to drive up viewership for your property

Stop lol.

What exactly is ridiculous? Do you have data to refute their data ?

Re-rating a transfer seems to make sense to me, and a player that didn't crack the 2 deep in 2 years should drop

That makes more sense, and is possible. The problem is that neither SOR or FPI are open source

The CFP committee use SOS, SOR, and FPI when it suits them

It has always been this way to a certain extent with HS recruits. The more blue

The #1 TP class is a Big12 school.

FPI and similar are a joke because of this. Also, transfer rating

When kids often make a decision within a day of announcing, you’re not going to

This take is so stupid. Of course a player who never plays is rated lower when they transfer.

Did you hear his Gentry example? He played & in regular rotation including in NC team.

Soupie

It’s the same thing. When he was rated out of high school, he rated really highly against other high school players

It matters because multiple ranking systems including FPI include

Yeah it’s crazy to think a business is profit maximizing.

Which business is “profit maximizing” but underrating BYU?

Well, the SEC and B1G dwarf BYU in revenue.

Haven't followed ESPN, but 247 seems to have rerated all of them BEFORE they went to the Big 12

That way it's easier to prop up certain preseason rankings using recruiting rank

Which then carry over to how wins & losses are valued throughout the season. House of cards.

Seems pretty blatant, glad someone in the media is going after them!
