You have to remember that the NLRB ruling at Northwestern, that football players are employers, was based on two primary things. Revenue generated and time spent generating that revenue. NCAA's "20 hour rule" didn't carry any weight with the labor board when it was shown how much actual time football players spend on football when all the "voluntary" workouts, team meetings, film study, and travel were added up.
The recommended time restrictions are primarily a response to the NLRB ruling, not at the SEC. Since the conferences currently spend the same amount of time on football, I just don't see how putting additional limitations on time spent on football puts the SEC at a disadvantage. All conferences would still be operating under the same rules.
