B. The SEC needs to grow the hell up, and get past its nepotistic old boys network, whoever it favors. Whether there is real, provable bias or not, the fact that the second most powerful and profitable sports organization in the United States is leaving itself open to the implication of these charges is beyond ridiculous. The conference needs to start acting like a real institution, not a backwoods hunting club or regional bush league run out of a damn hotel in Birmingham.

Amen, Plus 1000 whatever,

Despite my flaming I don't want to leave the SEC either. But if you have to threaten to leave to be treated fairly so be it. Living in Bama I can tell you they run the whole fricking state like a backwoods hunting club, not just the SEC.

I can fix anything by knowing the "right person." It is like living in a third world country sometimes, it is unbelievable. The SEC office is just an extension of the whole culture, as they tell me all the time "It is just the way we have always done it here." The scariest word in the state is not riot, fire, aliens, bear, or zombies, it is "Change." As the great author William Faulkner said of Mississippi "The more it changes the more it stays the same"

That is doubly true in bama. All I want is to be treated fairly. That ain't happening unless we win the SEC outright every year, (Then they can't screw us) which ain't happening either.
