The SEC is far and away the most popular television property in college football. It has television/streaming media king ESPN as its exclusive partner. It can essentially print money.
Isn't the B1G TV deal better than the SECs currently? I thought I had seen that somewhere.
In reality it's a 2 conference sport right now and everyone knows it. You wouldn't have the B1G/SEC battles and articles if they didn't both know the other was the competition. If the SEC breaks off, you have to think they discuss with the B1G (or vice versa) because neither league will want their champion to not have beaten the other champion. That's part of the draw right now.
The sweetness of the SEC dominating for 20 years was often at the expense of the B1G, and now the B1G has won 3 in a row and taken back at least short term control.

re: LSU abstained from the vote on banning NFL players

I mean they kind of have to abstain since they have players on their roster right now that violate this new rule.

Cleveland Browns fans can't help themselves. I have a friend who goes to every game and has had season tickets for the last decade. Dedication to watch a team who has only won 10+ games 3 times since the turn of the century.

But yall are acting like she’s pulling off some amazing feat that requires talent that nobody else has….. it’s just not the case. Sorry
She is better at it than everyone else. So if you want to call it grit, or anticipation or talent go for it.
I would say her anticipation itself could be called "talent".
I don't mean to white knight really as I have honesty probably watched less than anyone else in this thread.
If other women have the talent better than she does, then why are they not dominating in the WNBA?

I don’t know how one can come away thinking they just witnessed talent.
Because we all compare it to men.
Among women, the most talented women in the entire world who play basketball, she is the best at it factually.
Compared to other women, she is the most talented at rebounding ever.

Man I know I’ll get blasted by the WNBA white knights, but her rebounding isn’t even that impressive. I’ve never understood the glazing that happens as a result… it’s not like it takes a ton of athleticism and coordination to grab a basketball, especially considering she’s usually closer to the rim than most everyone else
She statistically does it better than anyone in the history of the WNBA. Even if you question the league itself, that's still impressive. There have been over 1000 players and she is the best at one of the statistics.
It takes anticipation over everyone else on the court. It doesn't mean she is the best athlete, but to know where the ball is going to go as soon as it is shot is important.

She is a great rebounder in the WNBA. No one is arguing this.
Of the top 10 rebounders she has the most turnovers per game and the lowest FG%.
All 3 of those are true.

Maybe but 2 weeks before games start not sure if they will integrate in time. I don't think those 2 guys are going to change LSU's season outlook (whatever that is)

Do you have OSU losing to USC twice in this scenario? Who is USC losing to? Oregon and Indiana?
I don't know if a 2 loss OSU makes the B1GCG or if a 2 loss USC does either honestly.

Laughable if you don’t think the big ten was paying players under the table.
It's laughable if you think B1G schools were spending anywhere near what SEC schools were. You think it's just a coincidence that as soon as the under the table stuff stopped the SEC started losing recruits and players?

No cope, it’s just straight facts that the high and mighty big ten that likes to throw mud at the sec is a dirty conference with far worse skeletons in their closet.
Off the field terrible things that have occurred at B1G schools (including OSU) have nothing to do with the SEC schools cheating and being dirty about player retention/paying players for 20 years coinciding with those teams winning a lot of titles.
I think it's easy to separate those two things and 1) recognize that horrific things have happened at a number of B1G schools and that 2) the SEC recruiting was dirtier than anywhere else in the country for a long period of time.
To just compare them as if they are apples to apples to condone what the SEC did on the field seems like a stretch to me at least

Ryan Day already said he will bring in an NFL player if it helps Ohio state. He literally said it just yesterday
His quote was "...if there are teams that have some players out there who are cut from NFL rosters that are going to be on other teams, we have to at least consider it and look at it"
He also said "To think we're in a situation where we're this late in the season and our rosters are not locked in is frustrating at the very least, but i'm not going to sit here and keep saying that"
"Do I like anything about it? Absolutely not. But we got to do what's right for Ohio State".
I think it is clear Day is against it, but also realizes that if other teams are looking at it, of course OSU should too.

It was so easy to control this and somehow no one really put any foresight into the situation.
Of course if you let it be a completely free market it's going to get out of hand. It will be fixed very soon, when a college superstar decides to stay in college for a 4th/5th year instead of going to the NFL because he can make similar money and live a far more comfortable life.
Then the king, the NFL, will step in and fix the problem.
That's how I see this playing out. When a first round talent who can make $4 million in college says "I would only make 3 as the 30th pick in the NFL draft" which is true, the league will step in to fix the problems at the college level

That's fair :lol:
I think this entire thing is kind of dumb, but do LSU fans think that bringing in guys who couldn't make NFL rosters are going to make them that much better?
I could see them being solid depth pieces and maybe starters as they did get UFA contracts so they weren't terrible, but I don't think this does a lot to help LSU's title hopes overall (SEC or National)

This type of story always ends up with a bad ending. Like something they didn't anticipate happening seems to always happen
This has happened with mongooses more than once. They brought them into Hawaii to kill rats and the rats are nocturnal and mongoose aren't so they never actually ran into each other
They tried in Japan to kill pit vipers but same issue. Instead they started eating rabbits and other rare species
The Octopuses are just as likely to eat more clams and other shelled animals then blue crabs. They don't like warm water, which is why there are blue crab in the first place.
Has mild disaster written all over it

I'll watch parts of the 2 P4 games and maybe some of the USC game.
I'm in NYC this weekend so may not sit all day watching games

we're talking box office draw here, not quality of films. it's a little nebulous, but there's a distinction. i dont think those movies were successful because Tom Hanks got butts in seats.
It's hard because he was the biggest star in each of those movies I would say (except maybe Toy Story where he was only a "voice" actor of one of the 2 biggest roles). But I understand that you are saying people didn't see the movies because of Hanks, which is hard to say yes or no to definitively
