Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Bama was easily our best win........ Maybe the SEC wasn't very good this year.

I've wondered the same. Is NIL spreading SEC talent thin across more teams, creating many good but not elite ones? Meanwhile, the Big 10 remains top-heavy, so their top teams might be more talented than the SEC's.

Time will tell.
 
I wouldn't say they fill the same roles.

The NCAA is only there to enforce the rules as set by its member universities across 100s of members, at varying levels.

A commissioner can oversee the entire sport and it's overall health, as all pro commissioners do (or even as conference commissioners do in college sports).

The issue is league commissioners are controlling everything right now, to the detriment of the overall sport and other conferences. Imagine the NFL commish saying, "sure let teams move and have the AFC North be a behemoth with 8 of the best teams...and the AFC South can live 2 teams...their fans will probably just die off and stop caring, not my problem as long as the AFC North makes MORE MONEY".

Now, you could certainly have NCAA 2.0 to accomplish this (having a commissioner). No difference, but a new name would be cool 🤣
What exactly are league commissioners controlling that an overall commissioner would take from them? That the NCAA would just relinquish?
