We now take you to a live look-in of SEC Media Days

I saw one of the provisions under review will be capping the B1G and SEC at 19 teams. Would sure love to have Rutgers (maybe even Maryland's) back right now.

Jim Delaney must be laughing his azz off. IMHO, the sec (no caps no longer, small letters to match the smallness of the conference) is in the review mirror and fast fading. I hope our coaches and ADs talk only about the B1G, its member institutions, and its status as the premier conference in the good ole USA!

my hat is tipped to Pat Ryan & NU
the new stadium up there looks awesome .
likely the nicest 35,000 seat venue in the country , by far .

this will help their program A LOT. the old place was a dump
I don’t think it helps, if anything it may hurt them. How many hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on this?

Not that all that money would instead be spent on the roster, but how much is Ryan putting towards NiL? Does NW even have anyone besides him giving money?

Players care about getting paid. They could care less about the stadium. Coaches care about getting paid and having money to pay players. The facility arms race in my eyes is over.

Indiana just won with a dump of a stadium because they had enough of a war chest to pay and retain players and probably have the best OC, DC, and HC trio in the country.

Not sure what future plans for a new stadium of their own that the Chicago Fire have. But they need to get out of Soldier Field and this could be a nice landing spot. I have no clue if Northwestern would be open to it though.

they are breaking ground on a new similar sized venue in the south loop along the river - near where the Sox want to build

edit : their agreement with Evanston would not allow that anyway . they had a real hard time getting them to permit 4-5 dates for summer concerts
