The money is officially insane

SEC pulls in the most because it’s the best product.

Nobody is interested in watching Boston College vs Pitt, because those teams suck. Doesn’t much matter how big their home markets are. Americans won’t watch an inferior product.

I won’t watch ACC football, but I’ll watch LSU or Alabama play just because the quality of play is higher.

I only see fans in other markets watching SEC games if their team isn't playing. Even then, I watched other ACC games because I wanted to what Miami would be facing. I'm not the typical fan, but I Isee a national audience tuning in to Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, and maybe Florida play each oth or some prominent OOC team. Moby Tuning for Alabama vs Tenn, Ole Miss, Ark, or any of the bottom of the conference. Perhaps that's enough to drive the money. I just think college sports are regional. IMO, they only become national when teams across the US play such as Auburn vs Oregon early in the season.

America wants to see the biggest and the best go up against the biggest and the best.


Nobody is watching bush league ACC teams play amateur ball. Especially in NFL markets.

People just aren’t interested in second rate athletes and mediocre football.

The SEC is just bigger and better. It’s a higher quality product.

Yup.

So while our fans keep talking about ACC and adidas money—all the SEC schools, which already had sweetheart deals and loyal, check-writing alumni bases—all are about to get $20M bonuses (which in the case of Georgia, would cover the $13M annual coaching salaries and the yearly, NCAA-leading, $7M recruiting budget).

But hey, Mark Richt donated $1M of his own money to an indoor practice facility—while fans run GoFundMe campaigns to fly banners and put up billboards.


And y'all wonder why UM is second rate these days.

ESPN already owns the SEC network, which is why they pimp those teams so heavily, and ultimately why those teams get perpetually overrated in the polls. It's going to be even more insufferable when the mouse gets all the games and the conference gets even more dollars.

This truly sucks for the rest of us. College Football is going to continue to be killed by the $EC.

Another example of why the SEC is in a totally different league.

Agreed. And I don't see it being a good thing for the sport in the long run. It's merely another reason to turn fans off. Nobody wants to watch Clemson vs BAMA 5 or Clemson vs. SEC in the NC game every year.

It's boring and predictable.
