Kentucky should leave the SEC

What's an extra 4 or 5 million when you get your sh*t kicked in virtually every time you play a conference game?

In the final analysis, it's much, much more than $4-5 million.

Nobody said IU was a power house.

Nobody said SMU was killing it.

UL just dog walked us and unless something drastically changes they may do the same next year.

The examples could be swapped with about 15 other rank and file from other conferences that would beat us.

Folks think affiliation with SEC make us something we’re not.

Yes SEC is tough. That does not necessarily mean UK would have significantly better record in another conference.

But you made it sound like those teams have ben killing it. You took a down year for UK and ONE good year v/s the other teams to make it sound like they are far better programs than UK, when in all actuality, they had a good year while we had a down year. ANY of those teams you mentioned would have played UK schedule, we wouldn't even be having this conversation, except maybe SMU. IF UK played those other teams schedule, be honest and tell me what you think UK's record would have been, then for each team you mentioned, post what their record would have been playing UK's schedule. Be honest in your assessment.

Bama should leave too, they lost 3 sec games and got booted from the playoffs.

Bottom line is this: we aren’t going to be competing for a playoff spot looking up from the cellar of the SEC anytime soon. If you are ok with that then fine that’s your opinion. But don’t be thinking that we will ever realistically reach the playoffs from this conference. Hell we won’t even have a winning record. We’ve been passed by SC and Vandy. Pretty soon Miss St will pass us. Like it or not, we have become the doormat of the SEC.

How are we going to replace the SEC money? The answer is. We can't!

There is a reason Vandy and Mississippi State and Missouri stay in knowing they will never win anything. $$$$$$$$
