SEC has no use for anyone else... And they've figured it out

SEC Commissioner says F'U to everyone else

At least he was honest... If you don't feel like reading the whole article, here are some bullet points.

* The SEC and Big10 are now calling the shots in football (no shocker there).
* They will not accept a plan that expands the playoffs with auto bids (no auto bids means an expanded 12-team playoff can have 5 SEC an 5 Big10 teams every year, chosen by a "committee" that will include the SEC and Big10 commissioners).
* The "committee" is also going to look at possibly "downsizing FBS" or creating a new top division.
* The ACC and Pac12 screwed everyone last year (the proposed playoff expansion to 12 teams with 6 auto bids and 6 at-large teams was proposed by the SEC and those two shot it down, so now the SEC is going scorched earth on them and everyone else).

Laugh at soccer fans all you want but they tried this with the Premiere League and forming a proposed 20 team "Superleague." It was basically all the top programs from the pro-soccer equivalent of the ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC...all into one single group.

The backlash was so bad from literally EVERYWHERE with the fans protesting and borderline rioting in front of their club HQ's caused the whole thing to be shut down rather quickly.

It's too bad we don't have that here.
