Quote:as someone with pretty good sports knowledge, yeah you know those guys from there. but to just an average fan, they know richt from georgia, they prob dont even know who stoops is. not exactly what i was saying anyway. i just mean the best programs in the country are all part of the SEC or some schools are turning into more lofty programs. the USC's, texas, oklahoma big time programs are starting to become less appealing. 

 

i know there is good football out there outside of the SEC, but the stigma surrounding the conference is becoming hard to overcome. 

 

But it wasn't hard to overcome for FSU.  They won the Title and first team to knock off the SEC from the title in 7 years.  It was a lateral move regardless if you add the SEC into the equation.  Actually, he will probably make less money because of the taxes and is going to a worse team.  He isn't going there because of the SEC.  He may be going there because there is some connection with Richt or someone else on the team or he had an issue with Jimbo.
