Long term future of Southern Football

Highly doubtful.

Die off season...Die!!!!

As southern states catch up with the rest of the nation economically, socially, and educationally will football's role in our society decrease? I personally think that it will but I hope it doesn't.

Not sure what I just read here, Football decrease in the south? I don't think so..

I don't see a gradual decrease in interest. If anything, the fate of football will be from some kind of "big bang" such as China's eventual owning of us or a massive economic collapse that will simply render football and other leisure activities inconsequential because simple survival will take precedent.

I think there is still a stereotype of the Deep South stemming from the racial tensions of the past. Even with that stigma, the best players still migrate south to SEC schools. However, I have no doubt that there are still a segment of recruits who won't move south due to that stereotype...especially black players living in norther and western states with parents who harbor ill feelings from the days of segregation.

As southern states continue to develop, become more sophisticated, and grow further from those days, I believe that the SEC will even become a larger magnet for elite players. We're talking about a slow process over the next 20 years.

Just my opinion.

Bread and circus like in Rome. It's not really going anywhere, it keeps people from focusing on the golden rule (he who has the gold makes the rules.)

Isn't the south gonna rise again?

We already have. Just on a different level.
