Dude, half of College Gameday is just human interest stories now. Heck, a good portion of Kelly Hines' work is TU human interest stories. Most recently, we lapped up the Wheeler background and no one was whining about it. It's what journalism in every genre in 2017 requires to fill 24 hour cycles on multiple family networks. You can only show so many replays. And yes, scandalous incidents like Kaep rile up ratings.
Poor Tim Tebow gets most of the dislike probably from the over-coverage.
This is a great point. ESPN made people dislike Tebow. It would have been a cooler story if they didn't overplay it. It became nonsense by the end. Like steroids in baseball or TO or whatever other thing they are pushing.
