The SEC. It just means more.

This is just more of the same tension that gets created when you have a handful of exploitative professional sports leagues arbitrarily anchored to the higher education system.
The tension is created by living out that absrurdity. It really doesn’t matter what the label’s acronym is.

None, since they cracked my chest. How about you?
BTW, your old school's sports teams were that bad?

In a true sense, they're not professionals. The athletes are not paid by the school to play. The schools can't even give them money for a pizza and a beer.
The best players have tended to play for schools that give them the best shots at a pro career. Media exposure, training facilities, nutrition, etc. Hence, the domination of the SEC
What has changed significantly is NIL money.
The question morphs...Is NIL the mark of a professional athlete?

@Jolly said in The SEC. It just means more.:

Didn’t mean to dodge the question. I could more two years after they cracked my chest than two years before.
I would struggle to get to ten, 18 months ago, often times giving up around 6-7. Then I tore my rotator cuff in June of 2022 and have been afraid to try.

It's annoying watching student athletes make announcements about "entering the transfer portal" so they can play for other schools. No more school loyalty. NIL lets the athletes make money, which shifts lots of the priorities/focus. Then you have conferences that no longer make geographic/logical sense. It's becoming quite the mess. They should keep things simple.
