Looking back over the last 20 years just 13 programs have been ranked by the AP or the CFP in the top 4 - Alabama -10, Oklahoma and Ohio State - 9, Clemson and LSU - 5, Georgia and Auburn -4, and Notre Dame, Florida State, Miami, Oregon, Texas, and Florida - 3. That's 56 of 80 spots so to speak or 70% of all spots to just 13 programs, and almost 50% of all sports to just 5 programs. It's been over a decade since Texas, Miami, or Florida was competitive at this level. It's been 15 years since Michigan or PSU was competitive and nearly 20 for Nebraska.

The ACC, Big 10, and B12 are essentially one school conferences dominated by a single program. They don't need more money to stomp on their conference mates. The SEC is a essentially a two school conference - Alabama, and whichever program between LSU, Florida, Georgia, and Auburn can occasionally compete with Alabama.

The problem as I see it is that all the money in the world at Michigan and Texas has not produced **** in a decade. What good does more money get you if you move into a more competitive environment and have spend all that new money plus more, just to tread water?
