Awful. Birmingham gonna try to run everything (though I don't see Sankey wanting the SEC to become the governing body of all of college athletics...nobody wants that job...as we saw last year with Cade...he sidestepped for as long as possible...plus the NCAA does it for a mere 10% anyway).

NCAA also doesn't earn off football. 90% is from March Madness. Though I am curious if conferences ever go after that money too...though not sure how much a difference it would be either. Most of it goes right back to its members anyway. Hard to see all 330 schools allowing 1, 2, maybe 4 superconferences to take all that money away from them and give to the already rich.

Could see the NCAA continuing as the governing body, but A5 teams will get more leeway in their own separate rules as they have done since 2015...then just have the NCAA to enforce rules, eligibility, national rules as usual. Jmo...Sankey doesn't want the heat, just the monies.

Saw that Wideman is expected to join Deion at Jackson St. JSU bringing in some nice talent for FCS. Wonder if he could have them at the G5 level during his tenure. Big time recruiter for what they are.

The realignment stuff does make me think why are teams like Iowa/Iowa St not in the same conference. That seems like a no brainer that they would have already been tied together

Same reason most SEC teams are against other state schools joining (USCe-Clemson, Tamu-TX, UGA-Ga Tech, UF-FSU/Miami), nobody wants in-state competition.

It's about competitive advantage.

I looked it up because of your post and after watching the whole unedited interview I actually feel sorry for her. She's clearly had some sort of psychotic break that is beyond just a crazy ex-gf/ex-bf doing crazy ex things. The press putting it all out there and exploiting someone who is so messed up that even the courts said she was unfit for trial and later declared unrestorable (meaning that she could not be given enough drugs and therapy to get her well enough to aid in her own defense -- most people who are declared unfit are later declared fit) just feels like a barbaric form of exploitation. This was someone that anyone could tell was in desperate need of psychiatric help and instead of helping they exploited her condition for cash. If she ever does get well she will have this hanging over her for life. Someone in authority should've stopped it before it began - it's no different than telling reporters to go interview the kooks on the Alzheimer's floor and bring us the craziest one you can find. We'd all be mortified by that and we really should be mortified by this too. This interview never should've happened.

As an aside, if you ever see the pictures of her from before this break with reality it's night and day how much she changed. She was once pretty. I'm assuming between jail and the anti-psychotics she gained weight but she was once a really pretty young woman with no look of crazy that she has in the interview.

Mental illness is rough...I have a family member (stepmother) that goes bye bye sometimes, and it runs deeply through her family. It is scary and sad to deal with.

No doubt about that. I wish we'd get better as a people with dealing with it. Not everything but so much more is treatable these days that couldn't be helped before but we have so much stigma on it that we don't even talk about it unless we're forced to and by then a lot of heart ache has often already happened. Until you see it steal someone away from you, you just don't know how horrible it is and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

If they don’t watch it they won’t get a chance to protest the country they’re playing for…

GA and FL, may have to play Bama every year now as well.

Yes. We already play the toughest SEC teams for the most part, something UF & UGA don't do so often. They'll have to play bammer every year, which will result in more losses for them. This will give us a better shot of finishing higher than usual, considering the results from years we play bammer and they don't. This will help our recruiting and hurt UGA's & UF's.

Mizzou and their AD Sterk are parting ways. They "mutually agreed" he would step down.

Stuff happenin'...
