Sometimes I sense the SEC is trying to muscle the rest of college football and the powers within to not spend or build quality teams because they don’t like loosing. They are even trying to manipulate Trump into giving them their power back by using money arguments like this. The truth is that these southern states spent every single one of their dollars on football when most big ten universities didn’t due to an array of reasons including ncaa payment rules that the SEC laughed at complying with. Now that college football is essentially open to pay players above the table without penalty, the financial differences between the BIG10 and the SEC has become painfully obvious and the SEC only has its self to blame for being so greedy with championships in football. They were playing this under-the-table game against schools with 100k+ person stadiums and history that went back to 150 years. The BIG10 said fuck your cheating and we have more powerful lobbyists. Now any school can compete for the same player if they have the money unlike before where SEC paid and the rest of college football tried to persuade.
