MONEY MATTERS: How the B10 & Notre Dame PASSED the SEC

The Southeastern Conference has lost the right to say it’s the #1 college football conference. The reasons will likely surprise most people. Failing to secure the best TV deal, playing absolute patsies beyond the early-season slate which led to horrible home attendance and revenue, and the biggest rival conference, the Big 10–as well as fellow Midwest power Notre Dame–taking advantage with shrewd TV contracts and coaching hires represent the tipping point of why the SEC no longer deserves top billing. And oh, the Big 10 winning the last three national titles certainly helps. Brian Smith dives into more details which entail recruiting prowess, smart NIL decisions the SEC hasn’t consistently matched, the B10 and Notre Dame making critical Transfer Portal decisions, especially at quarterback, and discusses vital importance of back office personnel. The show will also define how the SEC can reclaim its dominance, and in short order, with its own astute decision making.
