Sports columnist JoeGoodmanJr has some questions he wants answered during the upcoming SEC spring meetings.
The SEC’s annual spring junket is meeting in person for the first time since 2019, which means only four — FOUR! — football coaches were around back then when LSU basketball coach Will Wade participated in one of the most bizarre news conferences I’ve ever attended. The infamous FBI tape featuring Wade’s “strong-ass offer” line had been leaked a couple months earlier, and the SEC spring meetings were Wade’s first time with reporters.
There was a time not too long ago when Wade was viewed as Public Enemy No.1 in the SEC. Perceptions have changed since then. Paying players via NIL collectives is becoming a common practice around the country. I don’t see much of a difference in the end. Only now the kids can make even more money.for Wade, y’all. He was simply a man before his time, and should be remembered not as some filthy bayou pariah, but as a progressive Southern innovator.
If only there were a mechanism out there to balance the economy of the SEC and take away power from the boosters? Oh, wait. There is. It’s called paying players. If the SEC wants to begin being a force for change, then maybe some of these school leaders can at least begin acknowledging the problem at SEC spring meetings.
The four-team playoff format, which represents the worst postseason in American sports, is threatening to stunt the growth of college football at best and ruin it at worst. Major changes are coming to the SEC with the addition of Oklahoma and Texas in a couple years, and myriad possible alignment and postseason scenarios will be discussed during SEC spring meetings. An intra-conference postseason playoff is an awful idea, though, and one that can’t even be taken seriously.
My new SEC East: Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.
