Goblue1 said:The Big has 2 elite teams but no depth. The SEC has much more.Yes some great teams but overall product it’s not close. B1g is fortunate with their tv deal because they are getting destroyed in the tv ratings. The big boys in the b1g are going have think long and hard about their future in the b1g unless some serious changes happen because the sec is gong soon dwarf the tv dollars. You can see why recruits find one league so much more appealing than the other too.

The parody in this thing is that the BIG10 was always the big 3 of OSU then Michigan then PSU - and the rest was just meh, most yearsThat’s because the roles are now reversed.

strikezonefitness said:He’s not talking about the top end. Personally I think OSU and Indiana are better than anyone in the SEC. He’s talking about style, entertainment value, game day atmosphere and that stuff. It’s much better down here. Also, the SEC is deeper and teams like Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, UCLA, Illinois…a group of the current 2nd tier in the Big 10….probably wouldn’t win 3 games down in the SEC.Check in with me in January.

MRSharkFB said:I fear this could be headed towards college baseball where the sec just have an enormous advantage in recruiting. For those not aware the sec has pretty much killed off west coast baseball in the last 15ish years because all the recruits want to play there because it’s the best atmospheres, they care the most, invest the most etc.He’s not talking about the top end.
