Does this mean SEC leaving the NCAA?

Imagine they just make it harder on themselves while everyone continue to fight it out Wild West style. I’m all for lapping them if they wanna restrict themselves.

I’ll give them credit though they see what’s happening and don’t plan to sit there and just let it happen.
IMO this is a direct result of Miami and Indiana flipping the switch and going from also ran and never ran to a title and “oh, crap, they’re back!”
 
Its truly an interesting concept. On one hand the media loves them some SEC teams as they all have massive fan bases who watch games and spend money. OTOH without the SEC in the NCAA, how will the media be able to prop up the middling SEC teams in an effort to make Alabama's wins over Missouri look better than Miami or Clemson's wins over SMU and Louisville? They wont have the same media mechanisms.


Bottom line, everything we're seeing from the SEC is a reaction to the fact that they no longer have cover from the NCAA. They're not sure what to do next. Taking their ball and going home seems like an admission of this.

Leverage ploy to get Congress to push through the legislation the SEC and B1G want to put in place an enforceable rules structure for College Football.

Petitti is using similar muscle to spur expansion to a 24-team CFP.

Meanwhile, helpless Jim Phillips goes on TV to talk about the ACC's academics and lacrosse championships

I mean really, where the f**k are they gonna go. What’s their plan? Just gonna play each other and have their own playoff? How is that BS gonna work. It’s all just sour p*ss over the losing their grip on CFB. They were the big swinging D**ks when they were dropping bags and scooping up the talent. But now, although flawed, the system has leveled the play field for the major college programs. And, these boys are acting like little b*t*he’s like someone stole their lunch money. Instead of putting forth realistic solutions, they’re taking the path of least resistance and leaving. I think it’s just blowing smoke out their **** and fronting a bluff. If not Bye Bye🙌🏽
 
The sec boycotting the cfp would be hilarious

Recruiting would take a nosedive

I believe it’s gonna happen eventually. It’ll be SEC and Big X bouncing.

Imo, just posturing. They ain't going nowhere. Some of the less-resourced programs in FBS might decide to compete at a more manageable level, but that's lower-end schools making their own decisions

At this moment Sankey and Pettiti and their school presidents may want two things above all else:

1) The ability to legalyl enforce rules in recruiting, the portal and eligibility, i.e. legislation in Congress to help put a lid on the chaos we see now

2) Collectively maintain a firm grip on power at the highest level of college athletics

Gotta believe Miami is too valuable to be left behind (and to the SEC/B1G cartel the Canes likely fall in the category of "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer)
 
This is like the people from the state of Texas saying they want to succeed from the union. Great rallying cry, and nice to put on a bumper sticker, but a hilariously dumb idea.
