  • It's really bad now that these conferences are huge colossal entities.

        You don't need an opinion, you can tally the schools and the miles they travel. This would be simple math.

        It doesnt matter for the players. Can cost the fans a bit more. Stanford fans have an easier drive to the Rose than Iowa fans. Flights can cost a bit more.

            We got 7-win Texas Tech against 8-win LSU. Mismatch? I guess. LSU has struggled this year. Depended which Tigers showed up.

            We got Kansas State for a very up and down Arkie team. Again, mismatch? I guess.
            Memphis was once quite good but they fell apart in the last 3rd of the season after Navy kicked their ass.

            Texas Tech? C'mon...easily the worst defense in the major conferences since Kingsbury took over vs. one of the game's best running backs?

                No difference in other words... Big seemed happy to be in bowls this year. Is what it is...

                • Simply: SEC > B10 at football.
                  I think the SEC brings in more money across the board (???), they recruit a lot better overall, and their coaches are a lot better (depth).
                  I'd like to know the mean of how much B10 coaches make vs SEC coaches ... Also the average of 5 year recruiting.

                  That's fine... B10 >>> SEC at basketball minus Kentucky.
                  Of course there is also academics.

                  • A friend did the work, but the SEC funds fewer sports focusing more $$$ on football (asst coaching salaries) than the BiG.. BIG spreads the money over more sports.

                    • Nebraska is actually built more like an SEC or Big8 school in that regard, btw..

                        Who traveled further this year is not an opinion. It's simple math.

                        Although, the difference, for example, in the Cotton isn't as great as you'd think. The flights from Tuscaloosa to Dallas, I would assume are similar in price as the tix from EL to Dallas. Closer drive from Tuscaloosa, but only hobos would drive because that road trip would be a horrible slog.

                          Alabama football is self-sufficient and funds the majority of the non-revenue sports.

                              • That one sucks as well. The king of bad arguments is what is and what isn't a sport. So stupid.
