Can we talk about the SEC?

[pete clemenza]

It’s still the same teams at the top of college tho


where is this major shift happening?

Give it some time. This is the first year of the 12 team playoff format and if this portal, NIL, and the likes stay the same, we'll see what things look like 2-3 years from now.

Good for them but.....

What about all that talk about them not being able to handle the SEC?

Now they the only ones standing in year 1 of the conference

They might be at the top for a while. That's an extremely wealthy school.


School Endowments...

Texas $20 billion
Texas A&M $17 billion
Alabama $1.2 billion
Georgia $1.8 billion
Tennessee $1 billion
LSU $664 million
Auburn $1.1 billion



Imagine if Harvard University wanted to become something big in sports. Their endowment is $50 billion

Endowment money isn’t used for spending, but the size should tell you hkw much money the alums have and can fundraise. SEC schools can’t compete which is why their congress people are trying to pass things federally.

Right I know the endowments aren't for sports, NIL, etc. But the SEC schools could be facing an uphill battle down the line

Regardless, I don't believe in playing players who haven't done a damn thing in college the big bucks. 500k that first year for a top 25 recruit, then we can renegotiate up to a max of 2 million if you're a certified baller.

Spending multiple millions of dollars on a player who could likely be a total scrub is nuts.

Y’all do realize that QB play was bad in the sec this year and that’s where the inconsistency comes from

Bama was top 10 in defense but the QB turned the ball over 18 times

but you have no problem with paying a coach all that money right?

It's about the jimmies and the joe's not the x's and o's
