I never would have guessed that Minnesota would have an OD level fan here before Michigan State did.

UF should join the B1G, they'd fit in better there. I know they never will, but I'm just saying.

Ha - nope. Florida, Georgia...even FSUx are all top 20 public unis now. As the Southeast grows, the SEC East will slowly become what the B1G was. Of course, the SEC West will remain a bit seedy and gross - except for poor aTm sitting there like the only non-retarded kid in a pickup truck bed full of rednecks.

Of course, anyone could have guess this because most people living here are from B1G states!

Dude, just trying to give UF some props, they are different than the rest of the SEC, cept Vandy. Vandy is our NW. lol. But the SEC sucks, UF does not. SEC can have Maryland, they'd fit in nicely, B1G could have UF, they'd fit in much better than they do with the SEC.

I'm not talking football, btw, I hope you realize that?

Well, neither was I. I was purely talking about academics, research $s n sech. For 20 years, big donors have been telling UF Admin they expect a top 5 public accredation...or else! And so it's going, but I was surprised to see Georgia making the same push a decade ago - and now Tennessee is pouring money into brains.

Well, UF deserves better than the SEC. But if other SEC schools are finally coming around and seeing the benefit of research, well, the nation will benefit for sure. The nation needs that. So I guess UF can stay in the SEC and be a leader of sorts?

I guess. It's all about growth. Florida's population explosion happened first. So, alumni made shitloads of money and it comes back to the school. It was a decade later that TN, Atlanta and the Carolinas started filling-up with Yankees. So, gradually the schools have a bigger population to find smarter students, the alumni are richer and the state taxes are way up. It doesn't take long for that to be reflected in the status of Southeastern universities.

I can't find it now - but once I started a trolling thread called something like "The Big 10 is dying because of socialism," arguing the money and peeps are moving south and that would be reflected in football, too.

That's a ridiculous premise about CFB, because Alabama and Louisiana don't have people or money. lol But it was great because the B1G fans became rather rustled. Still, I think the premise is probably true for academics and the health of universities.

Holy fuck dude, you are TOO right, the B1G could rule supreme, but liberalism has been holding them back.

It's a little chilly in the winter, but BFD. People would never leave a bastion of freedom and unencumbered commerce.

Yes, but how many Fortune 500 companies are around them?
