The most boring, uncompetitive games almost every week.

They probably don’t wanna lose to one of the worst teams in the ACC.

Yeah that Georgia Texas game of 35-10 and the Vandy bludgeoning of Kentucky were real nail biters

They have a great market. If the big10 was smart they would schedule better. No reason OSU should only be playing two decent teams with one of them out of conference.

Because the women’s volleyball and field hockey teams are top notch.

The SEC puts a lot more players into the NFL. If those recruits played the long game, they would make more money than what NIL has to offer.

Last 2 NC's have been two different Big10 teams. Plus Michigan, Ohio State, and Oregon have a higher paid roster than anyone in the SEC.

Out of the 18 Big10 teams, the cheapskates that wont commit to football are Rutgers, Maryland, and UCLA. Everyone else spends tons of $$ on football just like the SEC - even Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, and Northwestern. They simply dont have the recruiting hotbeds that the SEC has.

Money and exposure. That most of the conference games are crap means nothing.

I don’t even remember the last time an SEC team won a national championship in football. That’s probably why they are going to big ten schools

If you can't remember 3 years ago that's a you problem. Might want to go to the doctor because you might have a brain tumor.

I agree that the SEC was wildly entertaining this year. But for me, the parity is something new and exciting in the league. From an Outsider POV, Before this year it has just been Alabama or Georgia winning every year for 10+ years (save 2019).
Hadn’t been that exciting- so not different

If you think 18 year old recruits are gonna play the long game, I’ve got some ocean front property on the Vegas strip to sell you
