Well of course the SEC is going to give their best teams an easier schedule. By doing that they have a better chance to make it to the championship games.

If the SEC plays this fall they could be one of the few.
Reports are leaking out that the Big 10 is going to pull the plug on the season.

It's all so fecking stupid. They are the least at-risk demographic, in good shape with top-notch medical care, at least at the P-5 skoos. The G-5, and lower divisions are downright screwed.

This could, possibly, destroy college football altogether. If you rupture the connection that sports-supporting alumni and fans have with their schools...with those alumni and fans being mostly conservative-thinking, and not being fans of what the universities have become, what and how they teach, universities put themselves in danger of financial ruin. Those fans will not give to the universities other than for football. At least that's the gist of an article I read earlier today.

Sounds like sound thinking.. Charlie Strong would still be coaching Texas if not for the booster club. That money goes a lot farther than people think. And some of the boosters are whales, like former Texas Governor Bill Clemens getting SMU the NCAA death penalty by paying Eric Dickerson. The SWC remembers...

There was a great 30 for 30 about that.

Heard it often enough. Someone at my parish mentioned it just this last week.
