SEC has 14 of 16 teams, beginning of P1 break away? Unprofessional đŸ¤ŧ here
now? With so few Cross Conference games is the fix on for the break away? Are the people on the committee so fearful of the SEC, they dare not cross them? We already know the SEC/B1G have taken over the 🏈 playoff with 8 very likely automatic bids, do you think this is the first step to rig the NCAA 🏀 tournament too for TV ratings? What do you think is the end in mind for the SEC and B1G? Break away? Or just be the overwhelming majority owner of the NCAA 🏀 Tournament and 🏈 playoff? ** Edited by Stech at 3/17/2025, 8:18:54 AM

B1G is going to be crying! Only got 8 in. $EC 14/16 - B1G 8/18
ACC 4/18 - not very good as ole ball coach would say.

First round games unfortunately will be no issue for them
Things do not really get serious until the sweet 16. Getting harder and harder for there to be upsets in the first two games.

SEC football and TV money bought them a nice basketball conference.

CR has already ruined football rivalries. It might as well destroy perhaps
the coolest event in American sports. The P2 is like the Grinch taking the last can of Who Hash from all the small basketball programs in America. It's gross.

I think more accurately.....
media companies ESPN and FOX have colluded with the SEC and B1G to ruin college sports and the NCAA(the rest of its members and the headquarters executive staff) have been compliant and willing dupes. To be clear, ruining college sports was not the goal, it was plain and simple greed and the quest for more money and power with little, or likely NO, consideration of what it would do to the games and every other school.

Right, networks are writing the checks, they are hiding to keep Nat viewers
However, people need to understand they are killing College 🏀, and College 🏈 and the P2 are just taking the đŸ’ĩ from their real owners. It’s the unprofessional đŸ¤ŧ model they used for NASCAR. How did that work for them, and the XFL for that matter!?!? đŸ˜ŗđŸ˜ŗ

Yep, the P2's pathological greed is really growing tiresome.

I think the P2 should break away and have their own tournament
Then the rest of the country can have their NCAA tournament back again.

They would but they don't control quite enough of the total money yet.
