I think the same arguments could be used to explain the death of The Student Review at BYU.

Good piece. As a subscriber to SI for over 37 years now I hate to see them drift into being another ESPN the Magazine.

One thing I like about SI Players is occasionally they run a "how it feels" section that asks plays how it feels to hit a walkoff homer, get sacked, sack, sink a buzzer beater, etc. Unfortunately, they only run that about once a quarter.

The silly pop culture grid in SI Players I could do without.

So the decline started around the time the published the "BYU is the most hated team in America" piece. Coincidence? I think not.

BYU is to blame for the decline of SI.
BYU is to blame for the BCS.

Dang that BYU.

Now that Rick Riley is leaving S.I. I don't know if there will even be any good content.

Michael Silver left for yahoo this year too. He had written the SI Super Bowl cover story for something like the last thirteen years.
