    I read that too. The SEC is hell bent on burning all of it down.

    I totally understand that. I don’t mean to suggest everyone should feel the way I do about it.

    ...and he wants to take away the automatic qualifier from some of the small conferences to do it.

    IIRC, he implied it's an "either or" situation. To guarantee more SEC teams, he said either grow the field or cut the automatic qualifiers.

    His argument is based on assuming the SEC will become dominant in basketball as well as football because of the increasingly ridiculous revenue disparity between it and everyone else (besides the B1G). As the years accumulate, I agree this will happen.

    IMO, the revenue disparity will bleed into other sports besides basketball and profoundly affect them.

    Get out your popcorn. There is now so much more to watch than just the football games and this new show doesn't have an offseason.

    Over the last couple of seasons I’ve watched way less CFB. Not interested in watching the dancing over its grave. I don’t find any of that interesting, but I’m sad because I feel like I lost something, and I think it’s only gonna get worse.
