With college sports in limbo and key issues coming to a head, the spotlight is on the SEC: 'It's going to get heated'

With potential CFP format changes, athlete revenue sharing and the impending House ruling all in flux, college sports is at a critical juncture. And the SEC is at the forefront of it all this week in Florida.

Worth the read. Outlines the potential football split by the power conferences. Looks like it could be over.

I read the article. As for the question of ‘is college sports worth saving’, the answer appears to be yes, but only Football and Basketball for the most part. Honestly, why not just follow pro sports at this point. I have only so much viewing time anyway.

How the heck can Rutgers be running up a $70 million deficits if they make $61.5 million in conference distributions annually? Note that that $70 million deficit is after an annual school contribution of $28.6 million. So somehow their athletic program is $98.6 million in the hole, after getting $61.5 million a year in conference distributions alone, never mind, ticket, sales, sale of merchandising, rights, etc.

NJSU is the rich kid who not only does zero with his head start, but manages to blow every opportunity handed to him, other than the associates degree he purchased from the nearby community college. found this courtesy of an orange rutgers dumpster fire thread

Even the BIG10 needs to have someone at the bottom!

UConn football, as bad as we've been in this stretch, has beaten multiple ranked teams. We just do more with less. Rutgers will always do less with more.

They're born on third base, celebrate like they legged out a triple, and are immediately picked off by the pitcher on the next play. That is the entirety of Rutgers Football from the 1980's to present day.

Houston and Liberty. Anyone else?

Those were the two I thought of

Is this the end of the WAC? Going to be down to 5 schools, and I could certainly see more departures.

Since 2014 was the reference. UConn has beaten other ranked teams prior to that. Louisville under P comes to mind.

Let the record show that it looks like even DePaul is taking in about 60% of what UConn earns, which is about 50% too much.

I wonder how the Big East tournament revenue compares to other conferences. Clearly the tournament with the most juice; I wonder if that turns into more revenue.

Get ready for even more mid-major conference realignment

After a quiet Spring, June could be full of action. Plus a hiring announcement!

Interesting that the SoCon is not so quietly open to expansion. Solid mid-major league that is one of the more stable in the country.
