They shouldn’t have asked for government intervention.
that’s NEVER backfired.
But they did ask.
now they may pay the price.
They need the dead weight.
How else are they going to get to enough wins to please and satisfy their donors?
That’s frightening but potentially accurate.
Not sure I follow. Did they ask for government intervention? I don’t think they did. By “they” I’m referring to the SEC/B10.
Yes they did.
I think maybe we’re talking about 2 different things. Were they against paying student athletes/NIL and/or controls for NIL, yes.
But as far as conference expansion, realignment, NCAA separation, I don’t believe they asked for help with that.

I think they are officially CUSA/FBS now, but anyway…
Yep, Missouri State just marked the first anniversary of joining CUSA for the majority of its athletic programs.
BTW, see that Bears’ MSOC will be the Niners home + conference regular season finale foe on November 1st.
