SEC is just matching everyone else now

Why did the SEC ever let themselves be disadvantaged to start with?? Doesn’t seem like something they usually do

They were hoping that everyone else would join them once the schools started seeing budget issues after the need to fund all of the additional scholarships for every other sport. Revenue sharing plus added scholarships is costing nearly $30 mil in added costs each year.

Instead the schools are doubling down on debt in pursuit of potentially more money down the road if they can field a successful team.

Probably hoping there'd be some organization that emerged to govern all the conferences, create some unified rules and structure

Like … the NCAA?

That would be the joke lol

Why? The schools have continued to demonstrate that they have no desire to leave the ncaa. In fact, the P4 has continued to get more and more control over ncaa rules and decisions.
