re: The current SEC is unsustainable

And that’s been my argument about tradeoffs for “more money” from the start. Who cares about making money if you’re losing more? The ADs and Admins who do will eventually be fired because their team isn’t winning, not because they increased revenue.
With rev share and NIL you absolutely need the money… 10 yrs ago you didn’t, and the product on the field, and the relationships with alumni/fans and the programs were better off… now it’s purely transactional all the way around. Truly sad what has happened to the sport.

Every game is a sloppy fricking mess… are the games competitive?… yes. Some girls middle school basketball games are competitive, doesn’t make the product actually good.

That’s 30 years ago hoss. Indiana won a national title last year. What happened 5 years ago doesn’t really matter anymore like it used to

Well that's across the country due to the transfer portal more than anything

Just give it a few seasons to catch up with NIL era. This will then lean B1G just as well
The largest gap between the two conferences in draft numbers since 2021? Last year, when the SEC had 87 players drafted to the B1G's 68. This is of course despite the fact that the B1G has 2 more teams than the SEC and draws from both coasts and the midwest now.
Each SEC team has about a player and a half more drafted per year than B1G teams.

Then you’ll find some new dumb argument I’m sure
And Oregon hasn't done anything in ever. All that changed for you was you went from riding USC's coattails to riding Ohio State's.

Are you an SEC fan or an LSU fan?
Sweet, the 10th-best SEC team is better than the 10th-best B1G team. Who cares. Celebrate your SEC Championship when you win it this year but don’t make the CFP title game, as if it’s a natty, just like each of the past 3 seasons.

what's more unsustainable is the fact the national championship game is still 3 months away

Moving to a 9 game schedule whilst adding two powerhouse programs was a greedy, dumb move. You could do one or the other, but not both.
Honestly, the B1G made the same dumb move, but it’s being masked by the fact that three of their genuine powerhouse programs are complete and utter clown shows right now. If SC, Michigan, and Penn State were firing on all cylinders, they’d be having the same problems.
Rosters are not built to withstand 15 - 16 game seasons like this, and the second and third teamers are not compensated appropriately to handle that workload. It’s becoming insanity.

They just expanded the playoffs to 24 teams. You are for sure going to have 9-3 SEC teams make it and the occasional 8-4 one if all four loses are close to top 20 SEC opponents
Yep. Its like saying nfl fans are gonna quit watching their teams for 6 loss seasons

We’re already seeing the results on the field. It’s gonna take time for it to show in the nfl. You can keep living in the past and acting like an old PAC12 fan though

I like the extra SEC game. Better than playing Southern Northwest Eastern Georgia State.

It depends on how many 3 loss teams can make the playoffs. It will be fixed (hopefully) with the 24-team bullshite.
What is going to suck is when potential 3-loss teams like Texas, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, and/or Ole Miss sit at home and watch 1-2 loss teams like BYU, Texas Tech, UCLA, Indiana, and Notre Dame fill up the TV screens during the playoffs.

Just add SMU, TCU, Rice, Baylor, and Houston; create a SWC division and everything will be fine.

Unlike you, I’m not a fan of an entire conference.

Well,
The divisions should been kept and you play 7 conference games instead of 9
