When it comes to titles across all sports Arkansas, LSU, and Florida rule the roost. Bama might not be sucking hind tit but...


Florida won what, 30 straight all-sports trophies?

No one else is close.

Keep Vandy though.

And the last three were by Derek Mason.

I mean, how in the wide world of sports does an SEC team manage to get beat by Derek Mason three years in a row?



Tennessee fan talking smack at Vandy. I feel like I'm watching one SPED kid slap another on the playground.

You're calling me a dumbass?

Who were the fricking stooges that hired them?

Oh yeah...one of them was this guy.

Football and basketball usually subsidizes sports like baseball and gymnastics for most schools.
General rule of thumb was men's basketball breaks even, football makes money and funds everything else. Of course there are exceptions to this like Arkansas or LSU baseball being self-sustaining and actually making a little money, UK basketball being a major revenue generator, and UT WBB back in the Pat Summitt days (maybe even SCAR now with WBB, don't really follow it enough).

Vandy is private so they don't have to release their numbers, but I'd guess their baseball team breaks even and even football does okay under normal years. A lot of that is because of Vanderbilt's location and willingness of opposing fans to travel to Nashville and make a vacation out of an away game vs. Vandy.

Okay, let's put you in the spotlight.

14 team "format" the SEC came up with was beyond horrendous. Tell us what a 13 team format will be.

The format would be.. we say "bye Felicia" to the failed Gamecock experiment, and Bama and Auburn move to the East. Now errybody happy with their rivalry games.





Except Kirby.

So now Vandy & SC are gone & you've put 5 of the B6 in the East. Guess you're fine handing the SEC West to LSU each year (& complain that the East is no competition)? I guess to balance things out, Mizz. moves to the West?



HOWEVER, your idea is a 12 team setup.

I said to give us a 13 team setup.

Basketball absolutely makes money.

Good baseball schools break even.

If anything Arkansas is a track school and we've won quite a few more national titles than Vandy


You're really puffing your chest out about INDOOR TRACK and CROSS COUNTRY championships? C'mon.college baseball is far more competitive and prestigious with more resources poured into the sport.

Congrats on your niche sports but don't put yourself in the same sentence with UF,LSU or even UGA when it comes to all around NCAA championships
