I wouldn’t say that Michigan State’s football team is being disrespected. But, as a player in the Big Ten race, it’s definitely being dismissed. If you listen national pundits, even to the voices on the Big Ten Network, there is a narrative developing as the Spartans get closer to crashing the party in the Big Ten’s East Division: Great coach, good defense, cute story of redemption; but this is about Ohio State and Penn State. It’s a lazy narrative. It might be correct. But it’s lazy nonetheless.
