    Interesting tweet...

    And FL is over 6 times larger than MS and GA is over 3 times larger than MS. LA is similar in size to AL and SC but only has 1 power 5 school whereas AL and SC have 2. I used AL and SC as an example because they're in the south, have 2 power 5 schools (like MS), and are somewhat close in size...

    Interesting tweet...

    OM actually signed 24. 6 were from MS. So 25%. MSU signed 18 and 10 from MS for 56%. AL signed 25 and 7 from AL for 28%. AU signed 21 and 5 from AL for 24%. South Carolina signed 24 and 6 from SC for 25%. Clemson signed 22 and 4 from SC for 18%. TN signed 21 and 3 from TN for 14%. One of...

    What jobs did he pass on?

    SEC rakes in the money in first year of SEC Network, CFP...

    Yep. And this will continue until 2023. The SEC is getting crushed on the CBS deal.

    Not sad to see Manny go....

    How do you figure that? OM could've beaten Ark and lost to LSU 2 weeks later and not gone to the SEC championship. Or could've beaten Ark and LSU and lost the EB and not gone to the SEC championship. OM pretty much needed to run the table in the SEC after losing in Gainesville cause the...

    MSU student athletes will now complete a Dave Ramsey personal finance course.

    Assuming by "economic downturns" you're referring to stock market corrections. While this sounds good in theory, it's easy to say "buy at the bottom" when you know what the bottoms were in hindsight. Kudos to you if you were able to buy near the market bottom during the last two corrections...

    I see where ESPN is rebooting College Gameday Final.

    I welcome this move. Holtz and Mark May were awful. Rece was good as always, but I felt bad for him having to work with those two clowns. Kannell is also a clown (and a troll). I'm indifferent about Galloway and haven't seen enough of Adnan to have much of an opinion about him. But...

    NOT OT - These numbers can't be right can they?

    There will never be a cap on the final COA figure because there are too many variables for different schools in different places, but there should be a standard formula for calculating that final figure imo

    NOT OT - These numbers can't be right can they?

    There's no standard formula to my knowledge. Each school's COA is basically whatever they want it to be. Yeah each school uses a formula, and there may be some general guidelines, but each school is pretty much using whatever criteria it wants to calculate COA. I expect there will be either...

    Hypothetical: SEC expands to 16 teams, do they go east or west?

    This. There really aren't any other realistic options. NC and VA are the two states the SEC wants to expand into because a combined 20 mil people live there. Plus adding NCSU and VPI would keep the SEC geographic footprint mostly in tact, and that's one thing the SEC has that no other...

    Why does the SEC keep Ole Miss and Mississippi State?

    I get what you're saying, and I've been wrong once or twice before. But I still say UNC and/or UVA ain't leaving the ACC today, in 2027, or whenever, and if they ever did, it would be for the B1G before the SEC. There were even reports that UVA (and GT) had talks with the B1G around the time...

    Why does the SEC keep Ole Miss and Mississippi State?

    Here's my reasoning....... 1) UNC is to the ACC as AL is to the SEC. In other words, UNC pretty much gets whatever it wants from the ACC. 2) Both UNC and UVA are basketball schools, and the ACC is a basketball conference. 3) Both UNC and UVA are original members of the ACC. 4) UNC doesn't want...

    Why does the SEC keep Ole Miss and Mississippi State?

    UNC and/or UVA aren't leaving the ACC for the SEC now, in 2027, or anytime. NCSU and VPI might though, if the SEC wants them.

    Sally is back to bulldog bashing.

    I expect the '15 OM d to be good but not as good as the '14 d. It's safe to say the d will again be the strength of OM's team, but I doubt you'll see the '15 d lead the nation in scoring d like the '14 d did. Top 3 LBs (including 3 of top 7 tacklers on the team) all departed, and LB was...
