July 15Jul 15 Moderator No. I'd reword the article lede to be: Has the B1G Eclipsed the SEC for Good?The article by Dennis Dodd is well worth the read. But how much of the Big Ten is now Bigger than the SEC is a result of recency bias in today's wired world in which we reside?Clearly, the B1G has not surpassed the SEC in baseball, softball, golf, gymnastics, and other nonrevenue sports. And the B1G just won its first title in Men's Basketball since the year 2000.Three things are certain. Since the departure of Saint Nick, the Big Ten has had the better coaching on the football field. The Big Ten, where it really just means more, has the deeper pockets. And although the Power 2 are fiercely competitive against one another on the field, the court, the diamond, etc., the future of college athletics will be determined by the Power 2 and not Congress, the NCAA, or any other third-party institution.https://athlonsports.com/college-football/the-big-ten-has-taken-over-college-football-heres-how-the-sec-lost-its-gripFYI, Athlon's headquarters are in Nashville, Tennessee. Since opening for business, Athlon has been SEC-centric.
