SEC announcement

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (February 2, 2024) -

The Big Ten Conference and Southeastern Conference today announced the formation of a joint advisory group of university presidents, chancellors, and athletics directors to address the significant challenges facing college athletics and the opportunities for betterment of the student-athlete experience.

These challenges, including but not limited to recent court decisions, pending litigation, a patchwork of state laws, and complex governance proposals, compel the two conferences to take a leadership role in developing solutions for a sustainable future of college sports.

The advisory group will engage with other constituencies as necessary, including consultation with student-athletes and other key leadership groups from within both conferences.

"The Big Ten and the SEC have substantial investment in the NCAA and there is no question that the voices of our two conferences are integral to governance and other reform efforts," said Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti. "We recognize the similarity in our circumstances, as well as the urgency to address the common challenges we face."

"There are similar cultural and social impacts on our student-athletes, our institutions, and our communities because of the new collegiate athletics environment," said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. "We do not have predetermined answers to the myriad questions facing us. We do not expect to agree on everything but enhancing interaction between our conferences will help to focus efforts on common sense solutions."

So, as much as I want to divorce the NZAA it appears the 2 most significant and important athletic conferences are stepping in to clean up after and do the job we pay them to do.

Color me SUPRPRISED!!!

Makes sense. The two leagues basically control college football.

We can only hope this joint venture will help start a common sense dialogue about the crazy, out of control stuff!

 

[mrusso]

Beginning of the great "breakaway" from the NCAA? These two didn't just decide to form this advisory group overnight. Probably been in discussions for months, if not a couple years now.

More pointy headed morons to the rescue. We're saved!

How dead is the ACC?

And the Big 12? Wonder how much FOMO those leagues have right now?

 

[Bamabuzzard]

All the big players are in these conferences which means the bulk of the big money 💰 revenue. A lot of leverage in this "group".

Somebody needs to do something because the goose that laid the golden egg is slowly being killed.

How dead is the ACC?

At this point the big12 is more viable long term than the ACC.

Nobody wants any of what’s left in the Big 12.

The ACC/Notre Dame has about 8-10 schools that the SEC and Big Ten will fight over.

 

[TideEngineer08]

At this point the big12 is more viable long term than the ACC.

Yes because the SEC and Big Ten has picked it clean. All that’s left is gristle and fat.

“But….but…but…ya can’t leave out lil’ ole Clempson….”

This story may spark a rash of other teams to want to be 'Me Too's'. This meeting could also hasten the end for the NCAA, not really soon, but sooner then later.
Some times a little defiance is a good thing.
