re: Division IV: Good Or Bad For SEC?

All conferences would still be operating under the same rules.

With higher academic standards, we will force the SEC and Big 12 schools to cut corners because, let's face it, these two conferences don't hold their athletes to the same standards the Pac 12 and Big Ten do. So, in the long run, it will hurt the student athletes of the SEC because schools will make it so they are taking easy, non-helpful courses so as to keep them eligible for play.

That might be good for us fans and the teams we support, but that won't be good for the individual athlete.
