SEC Shorts takes a direct shot at State

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Just the results of bad leadership the last 10 years.

I’m not one to get offended by things easily but that comment does seem a bit too far. Just acknowledge the embarrassing season but don’t act like we are an embarrassment to the conference. We are obviously down at the moment but over the past 30 years, you’d have a hard time finding a program that has punched above its weight better than State.

Here is the fear that the lower teams in the SEC/B1G and most of the ACC and Big 12 have.

Let's just look at the SEC numbers. The current contract is $3 billion/10 years. $300 million per year. Divided by 17 (16 schools + conference share), it's roughly $18 million per year per school just on the TV contract.

When the next round of negotiations happen, Amazon/Apple/Peacock, the streaming giants are going to want a piece of the SEC. Say they are willing to pay $500 million per year, but the Amazon Sports executive say they want some changes. There's a backdoor meeting between the athletic directors at Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The presidents get involved. The Alabama president is friends with the Ohio State president, and they all agree to meet in Nashville with the Amazon execs. Amazon wants big time matchups and they really don't care about Northwestern vs. Illinois or Vanderbilt vs. Mississippi State.

The President at Southern Cal proposes something interesting $1 billion per year for a CFB super league of 24 teams. Now the payout is $42 million per school instead of $18 million. Enrollment is down because of the cliff and the schools could use the money. The elephant in the room is the USC President is right - we don't really need the Northwesterns and the Mississippi States. We need to call Notre Dame to see if they are interested, but what if the SEC's Big 7 (Bama, UGA, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU) and the B1G's Big 7 (OSU, Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, UCLA, USC and Oregon) and Notre Dame get the ball rolling. Clemson and Florida State make sense, so we have 17 teams already. Who are the final 7?

The Oregon President wants Washington to come along, and the SEC presidents like Oklahoma. We have five spots remaining. Colorado is one of the most watched teams - How about taking them from the Big 12? SMU is on a roll and has a lot of money and Dallas.

A lot of jockeying amongst the Ole Miss/South Carolina/BYU tier and the big market teams like Stanford/Cal/Maryland/Georgia Tech. Media pressure says they should look at a G5 team like Tulane or Boise State. In the end, they expand to 32, up the contract to $1.2 billion (1/8 the cost of the NFL for 1/2 the ratings) and take Boise State and the aforementioned. The 32 schools double their annual TV money and the rest of FBS is relegated to ESPN+.

Four divisions of eight works out perfectly for scheduling. Everyone plays 7 division games and rotates 4 non-division games. In a six year period (the new eligibility standard), you play everyone in major college football at least once. Your division champions get a bye in the new CFP playoff, and the 2nd place teams host the 3rd place teams in the first round. No polls or committees. Top three in each division make the playoff.

You’ve been chicken little on this board for several years now. All the while you seem to ignore the fact that the power 5 has become more inclusive and not less. The only programs that have been upended are Washington state and Oregon State.

I really don't know that I can think of anything worse than 'SEC Shorts', and why anyone would watch them. They aren't funny or entertaining. Just dumb. I've said that long before this one, but folks just keep posting them.

Your prerogative, I suppose.

And even they survived and got a nice payday.

I would imagine they'll end up being fine in the new world too. They'll be some merger eventually out there.

Rev sharing might cull a little bit of the herd, but I imagine it'll be the non-revenue sports that get culled mostly, not football.

No matter how bad you and others want to wish it in to existence, it’s just not happening. The SEC and Big 10 will stay in tact.

It’s like we have fans that want it to happen. Makes no sense to me. Maybe they want to be in a position to say, “I told you so?”

Who would focus on the far fetched negatives? They must have miserable lives.

 

[msugolf]

They say it’s an embarrassment that we are a member of the conference.

People who watch SEC Shorts are the same folks who pay attention to The View in my book. I cringe every time I stumble upon their clips. Can you imagine how embarrassing it must be to be a grown adult and make content this bad? Would definitely be frightened on what is on their computer history.

 

[GloryDawg]

The people who should be embarrassed is Selmon, Lebby and OU because that is where they came from. Selmon is taking us for a ride and getting rich.

 

[msudawg1200]

Just like the NFL has/needs the Browns of the world, and MLB has/needs the Pirates of the world, the SEC has/needs the MSU's of the world. Why you ask? To have someone to beat the crap out of.

 

[bulldognation]

Amazing how many of ya'll got yer panties in a wad over a comedy sketch.

 

[Hail State]

Who is that red? I refuse to hear any complaints from someone who sounds like that.

PS: the fact a lot of you are so willing to cuck for the SEC powers that be is gross. Have some respect for yourselves.
