To be honest, for the sake of the sport, I was upset about the Texas and OU additions. Even though I knew that money trumps all, and Texas and OU will clearly generate money for the SEC.
I miss the 12 team SEC. I wish that Penn State had joined the Big East (they were rejected in 1982) and that conferences were otherwise the same as they were before the Big East/ACC raid in 2003.

No other SEC teams are happy about misery joining.

I fear the “powers” have already ruined college football. They will not be able to put the genie back in the bottle. Certain programs, like Texas, have historically shown for decades they will ruin any conference, any semblance, of fair competition for money. The NCAA is totally at fault. They sold these kids NIL for years. That should have never been allowed. But now NIL is signing up high school kids for millions. Texas has a $20,000,000, Lamborghini driving backfield, with millions already committed to high school kids. Their backfield is priced higher than most NFL teams. Alabama and Nick Saban bitch bitterly about any change or parity in college football that threatens them. A poor school like LSU commits 100s of millions for about 85 so called student athletes. The overwhelming majority of whom will never graduate or play professionally. Basically what is being set up is another professional football league, highly paid, that is using, for the most part, taxpayer funded university facilities and resources. The “powers” are using the excitement, aura, game day experience...to promote a new professional league. The solution is like the NFL. A draft and a salary cap. All 5 & 4 stars should be subject to a draft if they wish to participate in NIL money. They have to play for the team that drafted them. A salary cap puts the teams on level playing field. Those players not opting for NIL money are free to play for any program for scholarships and a monthly stipend as they used to. Playing for pride, or a program has already been wiped out. The players and teams want to play for money, establish the sane procedure as the NFL.
Yea. It's big bad Texas fault!

Are you one of those idiots that think the NCAA "changed" something that caused NIL>?
Specifically that was Trump's Supreme Court that did that.

Crazy as it sounds there was once a time when money WASN'T the driving force in college ball.
A hard cap on how much you could spend on coaches and facilities every year would fix this in a hurry.
Especially if paired with a cap on how much the school could take in each year, with any excess automatically dumped into title 9 sports up to a certain amount, and then general scholarship fund after that

Glad to hear it since I was addressing chasing TV contracts & etc instead of NIL

Why? There are hundreds of fcs, D2 and d3 programs that don't make squat
A lot of money that goes to FCS, D2 and D3 comes from NCAA distributions. If there are 2 or 3 power conferences that pull their money making sports out of the NCAA, where exactly is the NCAA going to get that money to distribute? Their cash cows will be gone. FCS teams are doubtfully going to keep getting the multi million dollar body bag games in the future as well.
