Barely any SEC involvement. Dominated by BIG
Nothing presented in your link refutes the dominance of regular season SEC games over regular season B10 games.
Of the top 10 viewership games you cite:
6 were CFP games
2 were conference championship games - one B10 and one SEC
Only 2 were Regular Season conference games (the point of the article):
Ohio State v. Alabama (split)
Ohio State v. Michigan (you get this one)

Sankey overplayed his hand in a weakening SEC.
Well, it certainly ain't weakening in terms of viewership of regular season conference games:
SEC kicking B10 arse in Viewership
Article from WSJ is via a paid subscription so not sure you can access. If not, here are a few salient quotes:
Two years ago, SEC and Big Ten football games drew similar television audiences. This season, however, the second campaign since each league expanded, the SEC’s average audience has surged by 49% while the Big Ten’s has dropped 11%, according to Nielsen. The average regular-season SEC football game now draws 2 million more viewers than the average Big Ten game.
Currently, the Big Ten has the more lucrative TV package, which has helped fund its on-field success in the player-pay era. The Big Ten distributed roughly $62 million to each school as of 2023-24, compared with about $52 million in the SEC.
Great negotiating there Sankey!
...and then this just for belly laughs...
The Big Ten rejected the notion that TV ratings were a sign that the SEC has gained an edge.
“To simply measure the success of our conference’s expansion by television ratings is to ignore academics and research as the primary purpose of institutions of higher learning,” a Big Ten spokesperson said.

Norfolk State killed Mizzou basketball.
Looking back, that certainly seemed to be the end, but a more likely causal relationship is the combined records of Kim Anderson and Cuonzo Martin (105-143).

The Missouri temperature listed looks correct, but I’m getting different snow accumulation predictions on different weather apps. One says 1-3 which indeed would be “light” for the region, but another says 4-5 which is a bit more problematic. On top of that, the Sunday forecast says 7-8”…so if that hits early, who knows.
Watching, because planning on traveling from STL.

Can’t really disagree with your game by game predictions. We might take Kansas on the road, but that’s as far as I’d go. Ceiling is 7-5.
I know we have a new OC in Lindsey and perhaps an upgrade at QB with Simmons, but I think Drink will keep them locked down with his pedestrian and at times unfathomable offensive philosophy. Combine this with a loss of some key players on the other side of the ball, and it’s tough to be optimistic about 2026.

Maybe someone should show Gates the Tyus Edney clip.
The “analysts” were torching MU for the lackadaisical in bounds and down court on the last play resulting in a failed desperation 3!

Maybe on your football nerd podcasts, but for CFB general media and 95% of college football followers this season will be referenced 100% of the time before anyone even thinks about 2019 LSU, and right or wrong, if you’re honest, that’s what pisses you off the most!

No can do. Enforcement of specific performance in personal service contracts is not possible. You simply cannot MAKE someone work for you.

There’s absolutely no question he can leave. It boils down to monetary damages, which I think would be hard for UW to prove.
I mean all of this bullshite is just dancing around the truth. NIL is absolutely, undeniably pay to play. Dress it up and call it whatever you want it’s still the same animal.
There needs to be a legislative fix to this. It has to be figured out because the current system is untenable. It might be painful for a while, but it will get fixed. Much too much money involved. Nobody’s gonna let the golden goose of CFB die!
