[QUOTE="CEB, post: 960739, member: 4905"] The points made in response to this are well taken. Not shocking to think that places like Oxford, Starkville, Athens, Tuscaloosa and Auburn (and many other college towns, not just SEC) derive a huge amount of annual income from Sept- Nov “tourism” associated with game days. As for team treatment, I’d like to offer [B]rampant speculation[/B]…. Auburn just played at Cal. Cal’s athletic department has some well documented financial burdens and are faced with the prospect of rapidly evaporating revenues. The number of SEC teams playing true away games out of conference leaves few possibilities that fit the “example” given… I wouldn’t be shocked if it was Cal, I wouldn’t be shocked if some of this “treatment” was unique to Cal, and I wouldn’t be shocked to find that the treatment Cal gave wasn’t almost entirely due to the unique situation Cal finds itself in right now. All of this to say, IF my guess is correct, I am not sure this is the greatest example of life outside of the SEC… And if I’m correct, ACC get ready! [/QUOTE]
