They're celebrated in the SEC because they win championships. They wouldn't be celebrated if they lost seven straight games before getting fired.

This is true. You don't hear about arrests during the tenures of multiple NC winning coaches in the Big 12. That conference has a fail-safe in place to make sure that doesn't happen.

What's your point? That it's easy to fire shitty coaches after scandals?
I guess as long as nobody in your conference is winning anything anyway, the parts are pretty much interchangeable.

What I noticed: it gave fans of non-powers a new ploy to denigrate the success and tradition of the blue bloods. It allowed MU and Maryland and Rutgers etc fans to say: "Ha ha KU/Duke/UCONN! Basketball doesn't even matter, see?" By believing re-alignment was about football games and games only, they believed football held infinite more value than basketball did among the public. And no matter how you tried to explain it was about the SPLIT of the cash flows and not the cash flow itself, they clung to their new baby. Like a newborn's mother clings to her infant. |

And, by the way, just about everyone but you and Hypocritson agrees that football and tv sets was what was driving the re-alignment bus. The split of the cash flow is irrelevant. Schools retain much more of their football revenues, whereas bball revenues are shared with the NCAA. Hence, most schools want to maximize the amount of revenue that they have complete control over.

Choir boys no. But there does seem to be a distinction between most of the conferences and the SEC/Big 10. Hiding child molestation, paying a JC QB $180,000 to win a championship and a system that actively ignored criminal activity in order to win back to back NC's? Come on now. Things run a bit different down there and everyone knows it.

That's exactly my point: the SPLIT of the cash was what differentiated football from basketball. You seem to be agreeing with me. |
