[Observing]

For as great as it is a football conference, it is equally awful as a basketball conference. Missouri and Texas A&M are both solid additions, but still, it is just a terrible basketball conference lol..

Here's the sobering truth: college basketball is just down overall right now.
The SEC has been in a rut for a while, and it's last 3-4 seasons have been
really down, and well documented. But somehow no one seems to
have noticed how badly the ACC fell off the last couple of years,
or how absolutley wretched the Big 10 was until last year when
they got back to just mediocre. No doubt all the early departures
are hurting the game, but that's not all of it.
