The SEC is overrated, but USC is way better suited for a coach to have success than any SEC program too, imo.
Until the SEC breaks away, it does not make sense to aggregate so many huge ADs into one conference.
OU willingly made itself Nebraska. They should not fall as far, but they're now a smaller edge school in a low population state, competing in a conference with equitable revenue sharing and with many other schools having equal budgets and funding.
I'm not an ag major, but this is a historic step forward in yield time from planting to reaping sown seeds.
Any ISU ag insider news? Is that premium board info?

Karma doesn't typically move this swiftly. Reaping what they sow. Fast acting yield times...Ag school. Breaking up historic land grant conference. Mobile phone typos. It was a stretch.
The SEC may always be a bit overrated but two things can be true that it's still easily the best conference too. Let's put it this way and imagine this was ISU's conference slate: Bama, LSU, A&M, OU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Texas/Arkansas...ummmmm there ain't no Kansas' swimming in that pool (well maybe the Longhorns hahahaha!)
That is a group of teams you damn well better bring it every week, which we have seen is a bit of a problem against even WVU and Texas Tech.
Wonder if that's tougher than the old Big 12 days when the south rotation included Texas and OU to go along with a good Nebraska, Colorado, K-State, Missouri-ish group in the north
This is what happens when most schedule 4 easy non con games so you only have to win 2 conference games to be bowl eligible.
I think the north with that south schedule was tougher. However that actually makes my point as we didn’t fare too well when we had to play those south teams along with that north schedule. The only way we ever got into the mix was with a very down and I mean very down North plus dodging the south
No, it is not easily the best. At least not always.
There are 14 schools and they play 8 conference games with uneven scheduling. Plus more TVs/fans. They have a huge advantage in gaming the Bayesian-like network that is perception compared to a 10 team round-robin in the plains. Remove Bama and it is not much different than the Big 12 most years. The main difference between the Big 12 and SEC has been UT ******* up hiring away Saban.
You just made the case that you have to bring it every week except maybe Kansas. And how did that turn out for Texas? Round Robin is severely underrated.
More money puts them on the winning side of things. That is all that matters. The actual football beong played is secondary. Winning football games is only important because that makes them more money.
Guessing he will make 10-12 million a year. Now California taxes will take a nice chunk out of that.
