re: When the Mega Conference is finalized, what SEC teams will be left behind?

In your twenty four team super league - it's something like Auburn upsetting Ohio State on their way to the usual 3-7 season. Think Auburn fans are down with that ?

Why would they be 3-7 year after year.

You're talking twenty four team,

It could be a few more.

Ole Miss and Tulane don't make that cut.

What? Do they stop playing? No. They continue in the SEC.


Here's the short of it. You can not stop any team in the USA from forming a new super conference. If they all got together and wanted it and ESPN says we encourage it, not a damn thing you can do.

Dude enough with the money argument. It’s not the end all be all. You’ll get to a point where the destruction of image and tradition is not worth the money, no matter how much it is.

I completely agree. I can see the PAC being the first conference to pull the plug. I’m shocked that the Big 10 presidents haven’t dropped the hammer already. They are eager to get rid of Nebraska because the Huskers lost their AAU status.

They consider the Big 10 to be, first and very foremost, a research league. Their CIC (the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) is the heart and soul of the Big 10 and the reason the conference exists, not college football.

They simply will not allow a member school to be outside that CIC group and still have access to it. No Big Ten school will ever leave the CIC willingly. The money makes football revenue seem like peanuts.

Look up most valuable college football teams and see what teams are listed.

Just like the SEC would never allow Tulane in, why would the major brands want South Carolina?

South Carolina is a top 20 football program value wise.....

I know its the internet and we can be anonymous, but please dont be this stupid when on the same internet you can look things up.

Literally it's MORE likely that we add more small schools than big schools. The big schools need to feed.

Private schools were not included in the USA Today analysis, thus omitting legendary football schools such as Notre Dame and USC. Notre Dame would have come in fifth on the football revenue list with $81 million in football revenue and $48 million in football profits, and USC would have been 15th
