I thought B1G schools were worldwide brands?

Why did it take till you could pay players for B1G schools to start winning championships?
I noticed this isn’t exclusive to Michigan. Texas only has 4 official championships. Hell, Army has the same amount of officially recognized championships as Michigan does. How do brokies like Alabama and LSU bleed championships but big brands like Michigan, OSU, Texas and USC just now catch up when they can buy 30 year olds to play against high schoolers?

I almost forgot what might be the funniest part of Michigan’s basketball roster is the fact that the only Michigan scholarship player worth their salt is a bench rider.
I guess the Netanyahu brigade was getting a bit tired of having nothing to show for having 30 billionaires and zero hardware.

I can't keep track of whether LSU is broke or spending too much money.
It seems to change daily.

No one in the SEC is broke.

The B1G schools will all have their own stock symbols in <2 years if their commissioner has his way.

People make way too broad of assumptions over one calendar year of sports. However, I do think the Big 10 has better coaching overall than the SEC. The dollar figures seem pretty identical to this point.

Coaching. You had them, we didn't. It's as simple as that. Our best coach since Royal was a guy who shite his pants every time he saw Stoops opposite him on the sideline. It took a player like VY to rise above Mack's chickenshit approach to the Oklahoma game.
You had Nick Saban. There's really no secret sauce here. Bama just did a much better job at finding coaches.

It is because basketball and to an even great extent, ice hockey, is played indoors which is what schools in the snow belt excel at since they have to play indoors 6+ months of the year.

It’s not that the B1G is just paying, they are paying ungodly amounts. Michigan just started 5 transfers and Indiana friggin Ana just won a title in football. This isn’t about paying a high schooler that you still have to develop to come to your school, this is paying professional salaries to players on current university rosters to borrow players for a year.
NIL and the B1G were a match made in heaven. Endless dollars meeting open free agency.
They will never admit it but if NIL and the portal hadn’t come along they would still be licking our boot heels.
Sooner or later these bought championships have to start ringing hollow.

But according to SEC fans, "it means more" and that translates to no one supports their teams like their fans and their programs put a premium on resources and whatever it takes to win. So now all of a sudden it is unfair that the Big Ten has beaten the SEC at their own game?
