And we tend to believe other fans are being disingenuous when they claim not to understand it.
I won’t burden you with a list of “conference accomplishments,” but will simply say I struggle to name an area where the SEC trails (yes, we won our first women’s’ volleyball championship, but watch that grow).
We are currently 2nd to the Bug Ten in conference division for TV money, but the new contract (2023 forward) for rights for the SEC Game of the week are supposed to put us in a different stratosphere. There has been talk that that the current division could jump 50 percent, or double, just from the GOTW.
In short, nothing succeeds quite like success. When recruits, without prompting, make special note of “my first SEC offer,” we know we have done something right!
