[QUOTE="Techster, post: 877355, member: 360"] My own belief is that the SEC is basically going to become a minor league with pay for play, and that may be through NIL or some other form. SEC will try to gobble up the best "names" in college sports (Clemson, FSU, Oregon, etc) and make it an attractive national league for ESPN and different media partners. More than likely, they will let go of any academic pretenses...some of the SEC schools right now basically have. B1G is going to keep some pretense of making college sports about academics, but they will want to play high level college sports (see: Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Mich State). I think they will also try to gobble up national names for an attractive league, but it will be schools with an academic focus (see: UNC, Duke, USCw, UVA, UCLA, Stanford, possibly GT). This will be in concert with Fox. It could soon be two mega leagues financially supported by the two biggest media companies (ABC/ESPN, Fox), with other revenue streams with tiered packages (with Apple and Amazon, TBS, CBS, etc.). Just look at the NFL model of how they are breaking up the schedule for different media partners. One thing is certain, the landscape will be totally different in the coming decade. The tectonic shift is already happening. The question for us is where GT ultimately lands. In one of the two mega conferences (I think the SEC will not be an option for GT for political reasons that have kept us out since we left), or does the ACC turn into a FCS type conference and we stay in the ACC to play outside of the mega conferences like a UCF/Elon/GA State/etc. [/QUOTE]
