Leaving SEC

Smart people, how do you invest in this? NIL. I’d rather go hor my body out and donate the money and aids to Habitat for Humanity.
In what world is a donation check worth the investment in our current situation?
It looks horrible. Not only could we be even poorer, imagine that flex plan!! Duke, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest for $99!!!
I don’t think habitat for humanity wants your aids, man…
That’s likely 3 great football games, with clean and rich fanbases and wonderful college towns. I’d trade those 3 with Ark Kentucky and T&M any day of the week
I would tell you to switch your allegiance to Ole Miss but even they wouldn't take an attitude like yours. Seek Help or just quit all together would be my advice to a mindset like yours. When the going gets tough, well, you know the story man.
Where has playing Bama LSU and UGA really done for MSU? Besides trickle down money that isn’t rewarded? You like handouts?
The goings been tough since 1880.
How much longer do you wanna stay under the old stinch?
We would be idiots to leave the SEC.
I absolutely love the check we get from the SEC. But if you want every kid in MS a to go to OM then lets join the ACC!!
They will do it for us…..or football will separate itself from NCAA
I believe a new conference will be formed or we will slip into tier two of the football division…whichever one comes first.
The 12 team playoff will be the same 12 teams every year. A 24 team playoff, will be the same 24 a year.
it’s prob best for us to look at schools ranked between 25-50 in endowment and slot in there.
With the addition of Okl and Texas the SEC will have 10 of the top richest football schools in America in one conference….that includes OM.
just something to look at
Where do y’all think MSU falls in football endowments compared to the top 25?

What exactly would be the upside to leaving the SEC? We lost a RB who was in a time share… you guys find odd things to meltdown about.
It's just a matter of time. The top 10 or so programs are going to join up with the top programs in the other conferences and create a 30 or so team super league. We'll be left with the other smaller P5 programs + the larger G5 programs in the 2nd tier. It'll be a big TV revenue hit, but overall probably the best thing for us under the circumstances. We've never been able to compete with the largest programs in the SEC, but the gap is about to get a lot bigger.
We finished 3rd in the west because of how Leach has managed the roster…redshirts and playing time. We had a perfect mix of younger and vets.
Our 3 diamonds star DB or WR or DL….will now be poached. MSU has survived the last 20 years in the SEC because of this strategy…recruiting MS kids.
Kif saw the light last year. Why waste your time and effort on any sort of highschool player? Besides, the second he does anything productive, we will lose the bidding war.
How can you invest in this without being a extremely wealthy?
What we're watching happen in college football right now is not sustainable IMO. I think if we hang on it will pass. We'll get bruised and battered in the interim but we're by far not the only ones unhappy with this crap.
100%
How can powers at be sit conservatively and watch?
They just watched our 100th successful Alum AD get poached again….I wonder how many more times my school gonna bend over and let them take the entire anus out of our Athletic Programs.
If this is the SEC way, I’m over it.
Also a grad of 05. People concerned about only winning 7-8 games a year; we won 11 total in my 4 years.
Yeah but we saw some damn good basketball
Could be heading for football version of the Great Reset. Those other conferences were tired of the SEC dominating so how do you redistribute talent to the Elite non-SEC programs? Transfer portal and NIL.
Rumor has it even Harvard and Yale are crunching numbers on NIL with hopes of returning to football greatness....you can't make this shite up.....or can you?
We won't leave the SEC. HOWEVER.....the elite SEC football teams could leave MSU and the other mid to lower teams behind to form a superconference as many have talked about before. I kinda think this could very well happen. The question will be.....will we still support MSU football while playing other small market schools like us for our own championship. I would.
State punches far above our weight class, nobody does more with less. I relish watching our Bulldogs make these pukes throw their daddies money away.
I'd rather keep getting the SEC money for as long as we can because if what you say does happen - we can't stop it. So you are saying - go ahead and leave the SEC and get less money for our athletic programs? I don't get that line of thinking.
I think we need to have some serious discussion with the B team representatives within the next 5-6 years. I don’t see this ending well for programs in our situation…which, not many have a tougher row to hoe than MSU.
It’s tough to garner enough excitement to generate the equal amount of donations to fund the players to compete at the top. It will take a few years but conferences will begin to have juggernauts…talent gap expands because of zero cap.

I think when the next portal window opens GA will have 7 to 8 hop into it. There are 4 stars sitting on bench with a 4 or 5 star in front, one behind and one being recruited for your position. I suspect if Bama was in the playoff, they would only have one or two sitting in it now. "Why walk away from a ring?"
Look, we'll never be able to compete with the vast majority of teams in the SEC but we'll have more money than we've ever had before but we'll continue to be in the bottom/bottom-half of the league in most sports. Conversely, you leave the SEC and your recruiting will suck. We'd essentially turn into USM only with a bigger fanbase.
