Indiana had a top 10 NIL last year. No one really knows what Vandy was but it was a lot. Same with Mississippi who made the semi finals. Top 10 NIL last year. That’s not parity. That’s the rich dominating the sport.
Huh? Im just pointing out the obvious. I actually prefer a big 10 school winning the football, women’s basketball & maybe men’s basketball titles rather than the SEC contenders.
And yet the richest conference is the one asserting its dominance. Don’t fool yourself. In the NIL world the rich will get richer. And SEC is second richest.
Honestly, if it were all up to me, they never would have gone past 48. Of course back then I don’t think there was as many small school bullsh*t conferences taking bids. But back then if you made the NCAA Tournament it meant something.
