From the annals of "No shit, sherlock"...

I have always like Coach O, he may not be a great coach but he certainly has a big personality. And now that NIL is legal he said the quiet part out loud of why the SEC became dominant and is now lagging a little bit. If the B1G schools that have been hoarding their conference cash finally decides to get in the game, the pendulum will swing even further from the SEC.
