All the money is invested in the SEC by ESPN. Doesn't matter if the ACC has a winning record against the SEC. Doesn't matter if the ACC is significantly tougher than it's perception. What matters is this is entertainment. Perception actually equates to dollars.
SECs job is to make the money. ACCs job is to get the leftovers in the market.
Most arguments about what should be will never matter until it becomes financially beneficial to the right people.
Arguments like "but they'll make so much more money doing thing X" don't matter. They're making all the money right now. All the outrage really just fuels the machine. You'll keep watching. You're emotionally invested. The circle jerk will go on forever. The schools don't care about players. The NFL didn't care about players. Most players add nothing academically to the school. They are there because they are physically capable of destroying their bodies for our entertainment.
All that is to say Mario is making an elite salary and given all the resources. He's ****ting the bed and needs to shape up or get gone.
I don't care that I lost my train of thought and no longer know what my point was. **** Mario.
