I'm guessing that schools are seeing that athletes in the SEC are inherently more marketable, and subsequently able to demand more cash from the SEC than they could the Big 12. This puts schools like Texas and OU at more of a disadvantage than they already were when trying to recruit into a crappy conference.

So in addition to wrecking whatever was left of collegiate amateurism in college football, I believe the NIL policy is also hastening NCAA football into leveling out all schools and giving each athlete the same ability to get paid. Having different conferences of varying stature impedes this. Short term it puts lesser conferences at a disadvantage. Long term, it's less money for the NCAA as a whole.

And it's not good for collegiate athletics.

This, expanded playoffs, new TV deal, and most importantly - we have passed them as a program .

It's all tied together of course. It's now not only up to schools but conferences to present the most marketable situation to recruit the top athletes to their conference because it will benefit everyone involved. The NCAA is done. Welcome to the beginning of the new era

Yep.

I also don't really have a problem with it. I think most of the people crying on this board are thinking in the past and have bad BAS.

SEC wants to control the recruiting of all the southwest power houses.

Start a collection, we need to get a couple of 10k opinions from players.

Agree completely. There's no getting away from what's coming to CFB, so in that regard I want the SEC to find the 2 best programs it can to keep the conference as the best in all of college athletics. If they determine tu/OU are those 2, then ok.

Sometimes the past is truly better. Unless you like things like the all female Ghostbusters movie.

Oh I totally agree. I am not a fan of any of this. But with the destruction of the NCAA, the NIL, and the loss off the cable TV model it just is what it is.
