Dan Tortora (DT) predicted many years ago that we could see the Southeastern Conference (SEC) break away from the NCAA & form its own league...
Then after the Big Ten Conference (B1G) took 4 West Coast institutions (UCLA, USC, Oregon, & Washington) from the PAC-12, I stated that the Big Ten could be looking to join the SEC in this exit from the rest of the NCAA Division 1 Conferences.
With the state of collegiate athletics & recent happenings, DT revisits his prediction, addressing the future of college sports.
