@JosephFordCotto No way

I support Mark Levin over Megyn Kelly. Do you?

@wischlist With many of these schools losing out in this "new way", then you will eventually see the ratings go down. Logic says that when only 2 conferences exist, that the others will lose interest.

@DMenHoops I see what’s happening. And there needs to be guardrails. But if you think the sport is going back to the way it was, it isn’t. The courts have changed it. It’s different, but it still produced a dynamic regular season and a great NCAA Tournament.

Dream Starting 5 for the 2026-27 Illini: Wagler Blackwell Stojakovic Mirkovic T. Ivisic It’s a dream, but I don’t think it’s just a fantasy.

The order has been given, The protesters are under attack! 🇮🇪

@LangmanVince @Lowcountry1Girl And possibly fake

Iconic!

Artemis II re-entry to earth from "space" is as fake as the WWE 😂😂

Artemis II astronotları uzaydan dönmüş. Peki gerçekten uzaydan mı dönüyorlar? Tabiki hayır. Astronotları taşıyan kapsül uçakla okyanus üzerine çıkarılıp, uçaktan paraşütle okyanusa indiriliyor. Tüm hikaye bu 😅

So we’re supposed to believe this rusted tin Can with balloons attached to it, just travelled at 25,000mph through the Van Allen belt and crashed safely into the sea? Seriously 25,000mph?

@WinterSportsLaw It’s called $$$

Retention is huge in today’s college basketball world. Many factors go into it, but those that figure it out will have a big advantage over other teams.

@wischlist Your school is one of the few that benefits from this chaos. Most others are losing…and losing big-time. You need to step away and look in the other direction to see what is truly happening. If you desire 2 large conferences, then you will get your wish.

@DMenHoops It’s chaotic ands more guardrails, but I don’t think that necessarily means it’s broken.

The Black n tans have moved into position. Pray for Ireland 🇮🇪

POV: A tourist in "Modern Rome" meets the invaders. Remigration and de-islamisation is the answer.

What exactly did Artemis accomplish?

🚨#BREAKING: A MASS ST*BBING EVENT HAS TAKEN PLACE OVERNIGHT IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH NC. AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED WITH ST*B WOUNDS Please pray for the victims, we DO NOT have to keep living like this!!!

An off-duty Chicago police officer was ambushed early in the morning while backing her car into her garage around 6 a.m.

They have returned home when they never left.

Lindsey Graham said J6 prisoners such as myself should have been “shot in the head.” Patriots like Mark Lynch helped my family while Lindsey Graham wouldn’t even meet with J6 prisoners. Trump is his own worst enemy when it comes to endorsements. I support @MarkLynchSC

@Genetics56 Please do NOT mention academics in your comments. This evolution has nothing to do it. How are the APR %s working out these days?

Reasons Why the Big Ten and SEC Are Naturally Drifting Apart College athletics isn't moving towards a Power 2 structure, it is moving towards a Power 1 structure. While the SEC and Big Ten have similar motivations -they are drifting apart due natural evolution. Divergent Growth Strategies and Core Identities (Parallel Paths Toward Revenue/Super-Conference Goals but in Opposite Directions) Geographic Footprint and National vs. Regional Reach Big Ten: Aggressive coast-to-coast expansion has created a true nationwide brand spanning East Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and Los Angeles. They own 12 of the top 25 media markets. The only thing missing, outside of a presence inside Texas, is along I-95 (basically the southeast. SEC: Expansion of Texas, Oklahoma kept the conference mainly regional. Their identity is rooted in compact Southern/Southeastern states. They did explore the idea of adding California and Stanford when USC and UCLA joined the Big Ten but they decided against. Thus, it was that moment when the Big Ten became the national conference the SEC stayed regional. Academic and Institutional Priorities Big Ten: Research-university model, 17 of 18 schools are AAU members; Big Ten Academic Alliance; Cancer Research Consitorium. They are akin to the Ivy League ethos. SEC: Athletics-first focus (far fewer AAU members) Brand Identity and Long-Term Focus Big Ten: Diversified into a national powerhouse emphasizing multi-sport excellence, player development (portal/NIL), and coast-to-coast brand; resulting in a “Big Ten region” vs. “SEC region” irrelevant over time. SEC: Football-first Southern identity; maximizes in-region talent and cultural Media Strategy and Revenue Model Big Ten: Diversified national exposure (Big Ten Network + Fox/CBS/NBC); higher per-school revenue projections from broader TV markets and NFL-style distribution. SEC: Concentrated regional loyalty via SEC Network + ESPN partnership Big Ten’s wealth (Fortune 500 companies, GDP $12.5T vs. SEC $8.4T; undergrad enrollment involves the Big Ten graduated hundreds of more students every year compared to the SEC. Far more living alumni in the Big Ten. Philosophical and Governance Splits I know for a fact that the SEC and Big Ten headquarters are not at war with eachother. I know this from some highly confidential sources. However, with that said, the conferences have their own views, their own goals, and their own desires and there are some things they just don't agree on and aren't going to come to agreement on. When it comes to tampering, the Big Ten wants to allow for legal tampering. The SEC doesn't. The Big Ten wants to increase the revenue share cap. The SEC doesn't. The Big Ten schools use MMR to increase their revenue share/NIL pools. The SEC has some members that want to leave the NCAA and be with their own schools. The Big Ten, if they decide to go their own way will add some schools to bring with. The Big Ten wants to move forward with modern rules that are legal. The SEC wants to go back in time and try to cap income of athletes, cap the number of times an athlete can transfer. They want what worked for them back. This NIL era doesn't work for them like it does for the Big Ten. The conferences pursue the same goals (revenue, blue-blood programs, super-conference power) but have chosen fundamentally different evolutionary paths: Big Ten → national, academically aligned, diversified media/academic/athletic partnership; all-in on NIL SEC → regional, athletics/football-first. These structural differences - geography, academics, media, recruiting philosophy, governance vision are self-reinforcing and predate recent titles. Championships amplify the narrative but are not the root cause of the drift; the drift was engineered by deliberate strategic choices and is now locked in by economics, demographics, and NIL-era rules. The B1G and SEC are not the same, and the gap is structural, not cyclical. Economic, demographic, and structural forces are accelerating the drift. Financial Fracturing and Resource Disparities Big Ten’s superior wealth raises the floor/ceiling; enables “what is your number” recruiting anywhere vs. SEC’s historical “McDonald’s bag” model. Shrinking talent pool (U.S. fertility rate 1.57, high school enrollment drop ≈6% by 2031, fewer elite athletes) favors richest schools; Big Ten’s scale makes it harder for others to compete. Historical foundation: Big Ten’s 303 NCAA/FBS titles; dynasty in wrestling, and other sports where champonship trophies are being hoisted up, along with Jim Delany’s expansions created self-reinforcing cycle. Recruiting Models: Density vs. Reach The below data is from @B1OBEY0ND . He has the research. SEC: Regional talent monopoly (78–82% in-footprint overall; 85–90% for top-100 recruits); dense Southern pipelines (TX/GA/FL/LA/AL). Big Ten: National talent aggregator (45–55% out-of-footprint overall; 55–65% for top-100); leverages expansion (CA, TX/FL pipelines, DMV, Polynesian) + NIL/portal + brand; signs 4–6× more elite out-of-footprint players. Result: SEC fishes in a big lake; Big Ten fishes in an ocean - structural gap widening. Broader College Sports Context Reinforcing Divergence Big Ten’s 2025-26 “triple crown” (football, men’s & women’s basketball with three different schools) + dominance in wrestling, gymnastics, soccer (University of Washington) hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, etc., reflects multi-sport excellence funded by resources, not fluke. NIL/transfer portal + revenue sharing expose and accelerate pre-existing advantages; Big Ten rotates national contenders across programs/sports. Legal/governance shifts (antitrust scrutiny, consent decrees, potential collective bargaining) favor schools that can operate in a true free-market model - Big Ten’s diversified national footprint and wealth position it better than SEC’s regional model. Long-term trajectory: Big Ten aims to make the national exposure, national footprint dominate college sports on/off the field. In the end, the SEC, decades ago, chose sports first and regionality in recent years. The Big Ten, decades ago, chose academics and research and then sports. When McDonald's bags were no longer competitive against a check with 6 zeros on it and a number listed before the 6 zeros, the SEC way of doing things became obsolete and the owners of major corportions in the United States showed up with B's attached to their names. The SEC and Big Ten are drifting apart simply due to natural evolution.

"agreed to a deal" to return. With the next breath they'll use "student-athlete" with a straight face. The con is on the universities for pretending to be schools. Then the fans of "schools". The lapdog cbb accounts and podcasters love it though so that's cool.

🚨The haters are coming after 16-year-old Ella, the young Wisconsin girl leading the fight to get boys out of girls bathrooms in K-12 schools. Ella is strong, and so is her family, but she's just a kid. To my followers, please show her some support & ❤️ She recently opened an @X account⬇️ @EllaFrei17 Hey @elonmusk, it would be great if you would send this brave girl a shout out. Ella is the reason why this story got national attention. She’s the reason that the @POTUS took notice and @CivilRights started a Title IX investigation. She and other students are the reason why a federal lawsuit was just initiated today by @WILawLiberty. She’s the reason why a school board candidate endorsed by @Moms4Liberty took the majority of votes on Tuesday. She’s the reason why the board President, a total loser Tim Walz loving Democrat from Minnesota who probably supports tampons in the boys bathrooms, was kicked off the board. Ella: STAY STRONG💪🏽 Real Women Rock #XX @WhiteHouse @HarmeetKDhillon @EDSecMcMahon @Riley_Gaines_ @xx_xyathletics @usedgov

This POS must be removed from the bench.
