I mean what's the point of all that SEC money if you can't scare up eight figures to get rid of your coach mid-season?

UF firing Mullen has just gotten more hilarious every game since
Reminds me of Nebraska. We will see if it gets to that level of hilarity, but definitely has similarities.

I wonder as more and more of the so called "blue bloods" get put together in the same conferences, and ultimately are no longer able to go undefeated or close to it marching through their respective separate conference, how many of these will end up in a downward spiral.

No way Bama, Georgia, Texas, OU, LSU, FL etc all go year after year with 12 wins, I guess maybe because they wont always play each other but its still going to be an issue.

This is why all those big names moving on and forming something on their own has issues. Someone has to lose, and losing at those places is unacceptable in any way. They cant handle 10 win seasons, let alone 7-8 win years.

If a school is settling for 9 and 10 win seasons, paying players $20 million a year, not including NIL, you have to think more and more SEC ADs will balk at paying their head coaches $10 million and $30 million buyouts.

Nope.

At this point I have to think every fanbase has been lampooned on that account.
I hate to see what this place would look like with top 10 recruiting/tranfer classes and a slow start..
