Tennessee fans are not upset. They're thrilled at the support they're getting and that they're taking the fight to the NCAA. If the NCAA sanctioned them, then they might be upset

I was being absurd to try and give the ridiculousness of all this crap. You and every other sport were Student Athletes, you were a student who used the sport to get help paying for college. B1G adding USC and UCLA just ended all the glad handing bs and said "We care about Money, everything else comes 2nd". I'm glad they quit acting like it isn't and has made me hope the one conference who ushered in this bs era falls apart for the same reason.

Yeah. A 19-20 year old young man in the NFL may not be physically - as well as emotionally - mature enough to survive the NFL. You look at a lot of NFL rookies - especially the linemen - that have transformed their bodies from the time they were freshmen to when they were seniors. There may be some freshmen at the skill positions that would be physically mature enough to do well in the NFL. I think Herschel Walker could have done it and maybe some kickers and receivers but I don't think there's a lot of need for the former as sophomores.

Mizzou didn't join the SEC until 2012. It could be said that Arkansas was escaping the SWC before the end came, I doubt if Arkansas would have made the "Big 12 cut". They left in 1991 after being only one of 3 schools that didn't get hit with NCAA violations during the 80s (along with Rice and Baylor) including the infamous Death Penalty for SMU. SEC didn't immediately leave CFA.

The demise of the football Big East. The Big East is a wonderful basketball league still.
Yeah, I knew Mizzou didn't sound right, but I was thinking someone came with Arkansas. Probably South Carolina from the Metro.
Yep. I still miss playing a bunch of them (G'Town, Nova, and the tourney in the Garden). But the balancing act was never going to be a successful plan in the era of content, content, content.
The only thing that might have "saved" it is if they accepted Penn State in 1982 and we got the "Eastern 8" with a cornerstone of WVU, Pitt, PSU, Syracuse, BC.
