B1G/SEC Collab

[baggerbob]

Thinking things will continue to be the way they have always been is a common feature in failures. College sports is heading into a hurricane of headwinds (demographic cliff, declining interest in traditional sports), and the P2 seem to be trying to cut the market in half before it gets there. The Commissioners of the Big 10 and SEC could go down as two of the stupidest business leaders of the era if they follow through with their plans to eliminate the rest of the country from competition.

Eventually the SEC and Big are going to be in court with different states suing them for Anti Trust violations and they will lose.
Then the Federal Government will step in and the SEC, Big, and the networks will be sitting in congress trying to explain their actions.

Only until they expect you to pay to watch.
