[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132085295, member: 1467482"] All of the worrying about how much money the school is going to pull in is more or less irrelevant in terms of competitiveness. Basically every team who has “stepped up” to bigger/more lucrative conferences has either treaded water and more likely became less relevant. The money that matters is what a fanbase can pony up for NIL. If Stanford’s alumni really wanted to, they could absolutely turn the whole sport upside down with all of the Silicon Valley money their alums have, there just likely isn’t an appetite for it from them. For all of the chest thumping the SEC does about the money those schools get, none of them have been able to topple Alabama for more than a year at a time and most of them haven’t ever come close to matching their dominance for one full season despite those big stadiums and SEC money (Ole Miss, Arky, MSU, Tenn, SCar, UK, Vandy, Mizzou, A&M). I expect OU and especially Texas to face plant here as well given what OU has produced in the CFP with a relatively easy path each year. [/QUOTE]
