I spent the late afternoon into the wee hours of the morning with JMU’s leadership yesterday. One of my best friends is an alum and large donor and he came up for the games.

commish Greg Stinkey's SEC really looked bad...and will look even worse if the "enforcer" for Texas eliminates Tennessee

Yep. Although Texas will be in the SEC starting this Fall.

SEC flopped Auburn and Florida both one and done.

6-6

SEC and Big 10 split off this would be a good scenario for the others. https://x.com/membig12/status/1770498340532142459?s=46&t=H08XcY14tY_wg-twtPVS8g We would go back to playing the same teams we've been playing off and on for the last 30 years. Yes. That would be a little better than what we ...

SEC and Big 10 split off this would be a good scenario for the others.

He may be hardheaded, lazy, and hire bad coaches, but he works the collegiate admin free ride as well ...
