SEC Open Thread

[RDU Irish]

As far as being left out last season anyone with a half of brain would know that Nd would have beat oklahoma or Bama by at least 3 tds

I'll take the over, heavily.

The parallels between the SEC and the confederacy are definitely there. NIL/revenue sharing is basically the modern day abolitionist movement to these backward ass imbreds. Now that they can't have free labor anymore, they whine and cry and threaten to leave. What's funny is not only have they not won a championship since 2022, they haven't even made the title game since then. SEC, SEC!

Cmon man. He is way too smart to be sharing this poor of a take. They (SEC) haven't even been to a NC since 2022.

The homers say it's because the SEC is soooooooo brutal that by the time the playoffs roll around they have nothing left give.

Would our schedule have been stronger if we replaced Stanford with FSU?

From the top rope! lol

 

[dankgesang]

That ability has gone down about as much as the Alabama football team on the field.

Must be a coincidence

It's 100% this. As long as they can ostensibly play the role of sage visitor from a land of enlightened football (Saban-era SEC/Alabama) it's all good, but now that the water is finding its level you see what actually lies beneath. They get off on patronizing the board, because they're shitty little guys without a thought in their head and nothing going on in their corner of the football internet. Don't talk to them, don't look at them, and if you're a site owner strongly consider putting them outside with the other animals.

While I’m not one to step in and defend the SEC, I do have to wonder how many of his Illini boosters wish it was 2001 forever.

Kinda weird thing to say, when everyone was accusing them as being the only ones to pay the players prior to NIL.

I could live in 1989 forever if my kids were somehow still born!
You should've seen my hair and girlfriend! They were glorious!

I must've missed the part where the schools themselves were paying players directly pre-NIL/revenue sharing. As far as I know, it was boosters who were funding all of that. Regardless of the source of that money, we're comparing apples (10-20k in a McDonald's bag, a car from the local dealership, etc.) to oranges (six figures plus on the table legally). Considering the scale of what we're seeing now with NIL/revenue sharing, I think we can safely say the old way was using "free labor" for all intents and purposes. And the SEC was the biggest beneficiary of that exploitative system. You think it's just a huge coincidence they haven't made it to the title game since 2022 and they're screaming from the rafters about the current state of college football?

I'm sorry, the pics aren't showing up, you should fix that.

[CoachB]

This is a terribly weak argument. Was Alabama spent from the brutal SEC schedule when they got dialed by a bad FSU week 1?

Are the Boosters not paying it now?

Revenue sharing comes from the school.

 

[Dale]

Revenue sharing comes from the school.

The school is paying out of their revenue, and boosters are donating to the school to make up for their lost revenue.

The main advantage of revenue sharing versus NIL is lack of scrutiny through CSC on rev share contracts. ND can choose to give Ian Premer mostly whatever revenue they want. An NIL deal would theoretically pass through NILGo.

Playoff teams highlighted. They all were from the lower half of strength of schedules for the SEC.

 

[Dale]

She also invoked the the 9 game SEC schedule, which hasn’t even started yet.

And there already is a cap on rev share correct? The amounts exceeding that have to come from NIL boosters directly and those are subject to NILGo?

Correct so you can probably assume NDs NIL exceeds Revenue Sharing this season.

I would guess they start with some sort of UBI NIL then proceed to rev share and consistent NIL partnerships like Rhoback/Under Armour etc. Anything in excess of that is probably more case by case booster supported.
